unsubstantiated claim regarding how dapr reduces resource consumption for an application

[darraghjones]

Describe the issue
The docs at the URL below include a note that since "Since Dapr is intended to do much of the I/O heavy lifting for your app, the resources given to Dapr drastically reduce the resource allocations for the application."

However, it's not clear to me how such a conclusion was reached. My understanding is that a the application still needs to communicate with dapr over the (local) network.

Expected content
Some evidence to back up this claim would be useful. Also, exactly what 'drastically' means could be more clearly defined.

Additional context
I'd like to believe the claim, but as is, it is made without much evidence.
