chatgpt.exe right now is 1 GB on my windows machine. I have 16 GB and can spare none. So I don't think that nobody cares about such performance increases.

Most don't care or ever notice these things. Hacker News crowd does and always has, but the a non-technical user of a run-of-the-mill desktop app would rather have new features, and maybe some bug fixes, over performance.

Myself? I care. I regularly run a project that needs 6GB for the language server to provide type hints.

These are not the same units, because all modern OSes have compressed swap.
