But what exactly are you comparing?

the base memory footprint of Lazarus vs MSEide (without loaded project), 
or the amount of memory needed to open a project (similar project)?

Comparing MSEIde against Lazarus. Lazarus includes codetools, a lot of 
info about the RTL units is always loaded (afaik), but you do get a 
benefit out of that.
Sure not all the memory maybe codetools, there are many other features 
that use the memory. but memory is rather cheap nowadays?
(BTW, how is the memory usage, if you strip all packages from Lazarus 
that can be stripped?)

Both projects have completely different targets, and that result in 
different requirements.
