Unshared memory usage
Unshared memory usage

Parent article: Our bloat problem
Looking only at the writable, unshared memory of my clock-applet
after boot on FC4:
% pmap 2430 | fgrep rw | sed 's/K rw.*//' | sed 's/.* //' | awk '{total+=$1};END{print total}'
4304
So maybe the complaint should be amended to "It is a sad world
when 4MB of unshared memory is required to display a clock".
Hardly an improvement, IMHO.

I use wmcalclock, and the same command-line you get tells me 288. ps' vsz is 2868.
Maybe I'm just too old school or something.

I ran the same commandline on gkrellm2, which includes a clock among many other monitors. I get 3436, more than wmaclock but still less than the clock applet. Crazy stuff.

pmap 2430 | grep rw | awk '{total += $2}; END {print total}'
Bloat must be hunted down and exterminated wherever it is found :-)

pmap 2430 | awk '/rw/ {total += $2}; END {print total}'
