Good day all. I know this place is a grave yard, but I have a question
about resource use.
Given that CDE has been given many a modern patch and is now used on
beefy machines mostly, how is its resource use?
I was expecting that it'd run on very very little ram and CPU, because
it was used on antiquated pcs with less than 64mb of ram back then,
way less.
But it seems that all of CDEs components together regularly take up
well over 200+?
It kind of shatters my plans to have it as a fully functioning desktop
environment on my PPC mac g4 running openbsd, which is only 433mhz and
512mb of ram
Is there anything I can do to lessen its resource use? I figure that
there must be a way to return it to its former resource use of yore, I
used to use windowmaker, but the new people developing it have grown
it into a resource hog as well, so this is my only hope.
While many bugs have been fixed, some new features added and the build
system replaced, it does not in and of itself consume more resources
than it used too, Also, this CDE is based on CDE 2/Motif 2 - the
machine you are talking about probably ran CDE1. But it's still pretty
slim and fast compared to today's modern DE's, if alos lacking in some
features that modern DE's have.
