The inittab setup is not different. However, the only way to switch gettys is to change thme by hand. This is because of agetty's priority, I could not remove agetty. As far as quantifiable numbers -- I have no idea. However from a simple look, mingetty has NO serial dial in support or what not. It is strictly console. Obviously this is less intensive than agetty. I know RH ships w/ mingetty, and I think a few other dists do as well. Slack last I checked still used agetty. agetty is only needed if you have serial terminals or slow dialins. Anything more needs mgetty. Not too many of us use serial terms and those who do can figure out how to change a getty. Hell I did (-; I also like that mingetty clears the screen when you log out. It is very professional looking. Reminds me of the suns at school.
