In computing, lightweight software[1] also called lightweight program and lightweight application, is a computer program that is designed to have a small memory footprint (RAM usage) and low CPU usage, overall a low usage of system resources[citation needed]. To achieve this, the software should avoid software bloat and code bloat and try to find the best algorithm efficiency.
