Here's another data point: although I haven't paid attention to the
memory consumption of Emacs 27.1, I've used it successfully for at least
10 hours at a time (probably more) on my X200 with only 4G of RAM. I
use 'emacs-no-x-toolkit' with only a few emacs packages:
emacs-no-x-toolkit
emacs-paredit
emacs-magit
emacs-geiser
emacs-org-caldav
emacs-nov-el
notmuch
I haven't actually used 'emacs-org-caldav' or 'emacs-nov-el' recently.
Paredit, Geiser, Magit, and Notmuch's Emacs mail client are the only
out-of-tree Emacs packages that I actively use.
