Modern mass programs ( as firefox, chromium , thunderbird ) consume many resources , ok now computers are more powerful, but the impression is that they consume too much. http://paste.debian.net/1119906/ Claws mail take about 2.4% memory , thunderbird ( only startup) about 12% , the total memory in 2G. For a email and nntp client is really too much. I think the developers of now put too many #include and libraries in their programs. Paul
