I have tried it (benchmarking) myself on Xfce, Gnome and KDE. Xfce takes the lowest memory, then Gnome and no need to say, KDE takes maximum.
But, there's an important point. If you use too much KDE applications using Xfce desktop, that will use memory for both Xfce and KDE. So using Xfce doesn't mean that you need lowest memory all the time. For example, I used to use Gnome desktop with AmaroK and Firefox running all the time. So KDE platform had to be running on background. If I was using only KDE, AmaroK could run on its native platform, and Firefox can run on KDE natively. So the memory usage might seem minimal. So, it all depends on what apps you use frequently, not alone on the desktop environment. Well, there's another thing - personal preference ;) I guess you got my point. P.S. - The point was - "Don't rely on benchmarks, check it out yourself" On Jan 14, 2008 2:28 AM, Zico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Jan 14, 2008 2:17 AM, raihan hasnain <[EMAIL > PROTECTED]<raihanhasnain%40gmail.com>> > wrote: > > > I was just to bet on that the author is KDE fan ... then I noticed his > > email > > address .... > > > > Lubos Lunak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > > > > any more questions?
