Does an executable version of mfile use same memory as mfile?

If I have an mfile and an executable version of the same mfile that I build with Matlab compiler and Matlab compiler SDK, would they use the same amount of memory to run? I am asking because I have to spec out a laptop that can run the executable, but I have not yet purchased Matlab compiler so I can't test it out. If they would not necessarily use the same amount of memory, would the mfile always require more memory than the executable to run?

If you are referring to something built with MATLAB Compiler, then the execution engine is exactly the same as for interactive MATLAB, so the same memory would be used at run time.
MATLAB Compiler executables do not have the desktop / command window to deal with, so that can reduce the amount of memory used.
There is some cost to the de-archive that is done.
The memory use should be much the same as if you had started MATLAB with the -nodesktop option.
