Memory Utilization when loading dataset

Hi all,

 

I'm looking for resources containing information about memory utilization when loading a dataset. Am I right to say if my dataset (e.g. Excel file) is small then Power BI Desktop consumes small utilization of my computer's resource?

 

Thank you.
