I've run sway on most of my home hardware for 2-3 years which ranges from i7 4 core to Ryzen 4700 8 core with 16 GB RAM and all of my post-boot measurements hover in the 512-640 MB range.
I'm usually on arch but these numbers seem consistent from debian to fedora to arch. Sway deserves credit for managing IPC latency like a cloud provider manages RPC latency.
I miss the days when personal computers were near zero latency but sway is as good as it gets in that regard, which is why I'm a fan. There's a lot to learn from the sway design.
