Hello!

At least I use it in that role and I even have 8 different wallpapers for each workspace and it uses 11052 kB of RSS (and 8896 kB of shared) memory right now. Is it too much? >To return in topic...the problem remains...LXDE already fit well into low >resource systems, the rest it's up to the applications that tends to weight >too much Exactly what happens, yes. To be exact, on my system right now the most memory eager processes of my desktop are: 1) Firefox (browser, 16 tabs opened) - 385 MB; 2) Chromium (browser, single tab) - 158 MB; 3) mutt (mail client) - 25 MB; 4) deluged (bittorrent client) - 17 MB; 5) konsole (KDE3 version terminal emulator) - 16 MB each; 6) kmix (KDE3 version tray volume/mixer applet) - 13 MB; 7) lxpanel - 13 MB; 8) pcmanfm - 11 MB; 9) clipit (clipboard manager tray applet) - 10 MB; 10) openbox - 9.5 MB. As you can see, DE parts are not on the very top and take not so much. :) With best wishes. Andriy. |
