Hi list, First of all, I have to say that I'm not sure if this is the proper list to make this post. My apologies if it's not.
Today I read this article: http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/memory/ via osnews.com I was surprised because the amount of memory taken by Gnome, specially if we compare the results with KDE. I would like to know what are the reasons for this. I use KDE and Gnome with a Debian with 2.6.15.6 and I'm not able to see significant differences that explain this (from a user's point of view). According these tests, Gnome sometimes takes almost 25% more memory than KDE. Some comments at osnews.com suggests that this is because the use of Cairo and Pango. I have no enough experience with gtk/gnome libs, so if there is a gnome developer around here... :) can you through some light here? As gtk-developers is there any recommendations that we should follow in order to take less memory in our applications (although they are not part of the Gnome desktop itself) ? Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
