Which is better? Both look promising I want to know which is more lightweight. I am trying to port a electron application to tauri started 2 days ago. I want to make my application fast as possible.

I haven't done anything with javascript in over 6 years, so I can't say which is better.

This comparison might be useful to you. Tauri gives a smaller executable for Windows compared to Neutralino, but slightly larger for Mac and Linux. Also, Tauri's build times are orders of magnitude longer (5 minutes vs 1 second for Neutralino), I'd like some confirmation on your part if that's indeed the case. One thing that really caught my attention, however, is how huge a memory hog Neutralino is on Linux, 700MB for an "empty-app-frameless" project!!

I'm actually curious in trying these two out myself, especially to see if the tauri build times are that bad, and if neutralino's RAM usage is so high on linux.

Thanks to let me know.
