Comments on: How memory works http://blog.andy-roberts.net/2006/09/13/how-memory-works/ So you want to know what's going on in my head? Wed, 23 Jul 2008 19:30:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0 by: eliott http://blog.andy-roberts.net/2006/09/13/how-memory-works/#comment-667 Thu, 14 Sep 2006 18:38:05 +0000 http://blog.andy-roberts.net/2006/09/13/how-memory-works/#comment-667 I wonder at his benchmarks. The fact that gnome+konqueror only uses 3MB more memory than gnome+firefox, while it should require loading a considerable amount of QT libraries, and KDE libraries to boot. That 'smells funny' to me. I would also like to see the tests done with 'pmap -d', instead of exmap..since I have no idea what exmap really does. I wonder at his benchmarks.

Bloat is a word that's used way too often After all, from what I see in IRC channels (either #archlinux or ##slackware): - Windows is bloated, use Linux - KDE is bloated, use gnome - Gnome is bloated, use XFCE - XFCE is bloated, use Fluxbox - Fluxbox is bloated, use ion - BitchX is bloated, use irssi - Pine is bloated, use mutt - Everything is bloated, use telnet Roo… Bloat is a word that’s used way too often
