Well, no. It's not self-evident even in your description of why you think it would be. CPU vs RAM is exactly the kind of distinction that I was trying to delineate. I've been benchmarking heavily lately as I'm working on a library, and anything that heavily depends on Crypto slightly favors Node. Bun admittedly does win on most things like JSON serialization & pure request/second throughput. However, it's just not clear cut enough to say that it is "much, much lighter" categorically.
