I’m working on a Qt application where I’m embedding all resources by default into the binariy files using the Qt Resource System. I understand that this approach can simplify distribution by bundling resources with the executable. However, I’m concerned about its impact on RAM consumption at runtime.

I want to ensure that my application remains memory efficient, especially when dealing with large amounts of resource files (images, translations). If embedding resources into C++ files does increase RAM usage, are there any strategies or best practices I should follow to mitigate this impact?
