Some info on my system:
- Intel Core i7-4700MQ (2.40GHz)
- 8GB RAM
- Windows 8.1 Pro x64
- Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate w/ Update 4
This is a fresh reformat as of 6 days ago. I have nothing on this system except for Visual Studio, MySQL (server and tools), and Chrome.
Here is the results of some testing:
Idle Launch
On launch of Visual Studio, with no project loaded, I am idle at ~150MB of RAM usage by the devenv.exe
Open C# Application Solution
Loading up a C# application solution, I peaked at ~300MB of RAM usage. Which after loading and a few minutes passed, some garbage collection occurred and dropped the usage down to about ~275MB.
Open Node.JS Solution
Loading up a Node.JS solution immediately jumps the RAM usage to ~500MB while loading, and continues to climb almost consistently at ~100MB per second. At peak, I hit around 2.5GB of RAM usage with the amount constantly adjusting over the 2GB mark after the project has been fully loaded and the IDE is sitting idle.

Testing wise, I do believe the leak (if it even is a leak) is in the intellisense that the tools apply. If the Node.JS text editor settings are altered to completely disable the intellisense and remove the saving to disk, the usage idles out at about 400MB of RAM.
Not too sure if this is a leak or just how the intellisense works, but figured I'd report it since it was very noticeable on my laptop as it started to make the CPU fan spin louder while having VS open while using a NodeJS project.
