Interesting... I have "electrs" running under Ubuntu via "Windows Subsystem for Linux" on a i5-3570K with only 8Gig of RAM... whilst I basically do everything else in Windows 10 (In addition to Bitcoin Core GUI running, QBittorent and Brave Browser, there is a shitload of useless stuff running like discord, steam and teamviewer and other bits and pieces) etc...

And this is the memory usage for it:


I'd be interested to see if you could get WSL, Ubuntu and electrs running on that machine and see how it compares to EPS.

@DaveF - I'm sorry, I can't answer your question. But I do hope that some 'expert' can chime in.

The answer is a lot. Sort of.
The node is a 3rd gen i3 with 8GB ram and an intel 460GB ssd running Windows 10 Pro.
Outside of the remote control software on it there is nothing else on there but bitcoin.
Then I installed the electrum personal server, then I installed electrum.
Then it felt like it was a single core Pentium running a 1 gb of ram and an old 5400 rpm drive.

Since it was late at that point I went to sleep. I'll check over the weekend to see if it just pushed it over some thing. (RAM, stressed CPU, etc.)
Could just be it's old at this point. As I said in my 1st comment it was kind of stressed as it was due to it's age.

If I can figure it out I'll post about it.

Wootwoot! 

I don't run a server, but I have a feeling this is to prepare for releasing their lightning compatible client software, which I am very excited about.

Exactly, we don't know yet the release of the new Electrum but I'm sure LN support is going to be included.

And here I was planning on not doing much tonight. Guess I now have to play with this.

Do you know how much more overhead it puts on the machine running it? The PC I have running core at home is stressed as it is.

Released notes:
Quote
# Release v0.2.0 (5th December 2019)

New release, thanks to code contributions by suvayu, andrewtoth and Sosthene00
And thanks to everyone else who contributed via discussion and donations

* Implemented tor broadcasting of transactions, which happens by default if tor
  is running on the same machine.
* Also check that the last address of each master public key has been imported,
  along with the first three.
* Add bandwidth usage per day and blockchain size to the server banner
* Support using `vsize` instead of `size` for the mempool calculation, which is
  the correct behaviour for Bitcoin Core 0.19
* Allow rescan date to also be passed via CLI args. Wait for any rescanning to
  finish on startup. This allows Electrum Personal Server to be more easily
  used with scripting.
* Various other bugfixes
