[Development] Assistant WebKit/WebEngine support

[Simon Hausmann]

Hi,

>From my earlier email:

    " I measured on Windows with a Qt Creator built with
WebEngine support and surfed a little through the docs. The memory
consumption of the web engine process weighed in between 14-20 MB of RAM."

That number came from the task manager in Windows.

Could you explain how did you measure web engine memory consumption to
get 14-20MB of ram ?
