>lean-and-mean applications like emacs
I think I know what these words mean, discretely, but this combination is fraught with cognitive dissonance, sir. ;)

Notes from the leading edge Posted Nov 22, 2006 14:59 UTC (Wed) by dvrabel (subscriber, #9500) [Link] Given that on my box emacs is 25% of the memory footprint of GNOME's clock applet, I think the term "lean" applies. After all, a clock should be really lightweight, right? 4843 dv02 15 0 184m 129m 9056 S 0 12.9 1:18.82 clock-applet 6538 dv02 15 0 39508 30m 8152 S 0 3.1 7:29.96 emacs
Notes from the leading edge Posted Nov 23, 2006 10:18 UTC (Thu) by jonth (subscriber, #4008) [Link] I'd suggest you've got a memory leak with your version of clock-applet. Here's mine:
3438 jpl 15 0 21540 9964 8300 S 0.0 0.6 0:00.15 clock-applet
(although I'd agree that 21M is also a bit big for a clock!)
Notes from the leading edge Posted Nov 22, 2006 16:41 UTC (Wed) by flewellyn (subscriber, #5047) [Link] Emacs was huge twenty years ago. Its memory consumption has not significantly increased since then, while everything else has ballooned.
So this whole "Emacs is a memory hog!" meme needs to die.
Notes from the leading edge Posted Nov 29, 2006 3:22 UTC (Wed) by mikov (subscriber, #33179) [Link] You are right. On my box sometimes Emacs actually starts faster than Konsole. It does take less memory too: ceco 4030 0.0 2.9 28620 15092 ? S 13:10 0:00 kdeinit: konsole ceco 6803 28.0 1.6 11708 8368 ? S 19:13 0:00 emacs ceco 6855 2.0 0.5 5892 2832 ? S 19:16 0:00 xterm ceco 6869 5.2 2.0 27620 10728 ? S 19:17 0:00 gnome-terminal
