Oh, yes, tried M-x ghc-check-syntax on a 3 line program, and ghc-modi took 700m of resident memory.

Elliot,

One slight concern I've been running into recently is the memory usage of
ghc-modi. I've been on a rampage over the last few days trying to keep the
Chart library from OOMing on my laptop, and this generally involves killing
one or more ghc-modi instances with 1GB+ of resident memory. If anyone else
can confirm this is an issue (and it isn't already a known issue/necessary
evil), I'd be happy to file an issue on Github and do some preliminary work
as to why this is happening.

Please record this space leak to a github issue. You are the second
person who are taking about this. Though I have not experienced such a
space leak, it must exit in some cases. Let's try to fix it.
