I presume you mean megabytes?
Well I've been working all morning since I made that comment; I have about
100 tabs open for editing in VS now (I don't clean up open tabs often >_<),
and it's sitting at 120mb.
For reference, that's considerably less than the chrome process that hosts
gmail (200mb!). About the same as the steam client which I haven't even
opened since I turned on my PC, and less than double that of dropbox
(70mb!).
I just booted eclipse, doing absolutely nothing, no projects open on the
start screen. over 410mb...
I don't know why modern software uses so much memory. But it seems
VisualStudio at ~100mb is pretty bloody good comparatively!

Dunno why you're seeing 200mb? (still less than my gmail tab...)
Perhaps you use Visual Assist or some other bulky plugins? I only have
Visual-D installed.
