Memory Utilization when loading dataset

[s15]

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.
