I've gotta ask... How much memory does the new dnf daemon take while idle?

We do not have any measurements right now. Please feel free to test it. We have a repository with DNF5/Microdnf nightly builds - https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/rpmsoftwaremanagement/dnf5-unstable/

I know this comes up time to time... As it is, PackageKitd and
gnome-software both, individually, take ~ 450MB of RAM without any user
interaction (other than logging in to a desktop) on a F36 system I
updated for general testing. This situation isn't new; on a quick
search, I see reports of this problem on F25 in the top results.

Using close to a gig of RAM for a couple of services that do nothing
99.99% of the time isn't great, and I'm a little worried that another
daemon is going to make things worse, especially until microdnf replaces
dnf sometime "in the future."
