Re: aterm, rxvt -- memory usage
I would love to see rxvt-unicode in ports, personally. It'd be much
more convenient, for me at least. It's definitely my favoured
terminal.

Hi,
I have a working port (in current) for rxvt-unicode.
Find it enclosed in the form of a patch file.
add
urxvt*perl-ext-common:
matcher,tabbed,selection-popup,option-popup,searchable-scrollbackM-s,readline
to your .Xdefaults to make use of perl add-ons.
These are tabs, regexp search in scrollback buffer, readline ...

Hi, AFAIK urxvt isn't ported on OpenBSD. I think it doesn't have stable release yet. You can check it out from their repo and compile it yourself. It's not a hard process.

aterm, rxvt -- memory usage
Hi all, I'm using 4.2 without problem, and I'm trying to find one xterm to my personal use with only one thing in mind: low cpu and memory usage. I discarded xterm because it have some things I don't need and it uses a lot of memory too. My two favourite options are aterm and rxvt. I have done some test using top and I have found that aterm uses less memory than rxvt. Where rxvt uses 1800 KB, aterm uses 1400 KB and stuff like that. I have no problem using both of them, and I would thing they have the same options for me except aterm have more package dependences that rxvt, but aterm have transparency an rxvt not. I'm supposed to belive that even having transparency options, aterm uses less memory than rxvt? I'm missing something? I know they are different programs but still disturbing me. Thanks for your time.
