I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice this, as I'm running a stock sid box. But I've got a machine with 256Mb ram, but GNOME is bringing this system to a crawl. I open up the system monitor, and I see that the main offenders are X (65 Mb, totally expected), Galeon (40 MB, it didn't used to be this bad), and gnome-terminal (15 MB for a single instance! 11MB after I turn off all of the fancy stuff).
So I'm wondering if I've got some binaries that aren't optimized for my system somehow, or this is just the state of GNOME. If so, I'm going to take a serious second look at ditching the whole 'desktop environment' altogether and go with something like IceWM. I'm not trolling, I've got a serious issue here. 256 mb should be more than enough to run all of the junk I want to run without swapping.
