Key findings include excessive resource consumption (33 processes vs 9 in VSCode), persistent telemetry transmission despite user settings, and concerning community management practices. This analysis revealed significant discrepancies in resource usage and network behavior that warranted deeper investigation. Testing Environment:OS: Microsoft Windows 11 ProCPU: Intel Core™ i7-14700KFRAM: 64GBTest Project: Identical codebase loaded in each IDEMonitoring Tools: System Informer, Fiddler Everywhere2. However, Trae still maintains significantly higher resource usage than comparable IDEs - whether it is due poor optimalization or memory leaks i dunno, further research would be advised. Community members are encouraged to conduct their own testing and share results through appropriate channels.
