Re: [Cooker] OT - Ram Management

[Joshua Jackson]

Oh, you are good.  Now this is interesting.  I haven't played a single
MP3 all night, but I've had XMMS open and the GKrellm XMMS plugin
running, and not doing anything.  I have GKrellm auto-open by
Enlightenment and I have XMMS auto-open by GKrellm.

X is using 33MB but XMMS is showed has holding 4 processes as 11MB RAM
each.  I noticed that Licq likes to open child processes, too.  Would
the 50MB's of XMMS be a memory leak or is that just how it is?  I don't
know if that size gets bigger as a night of MP3 playing goes, 'cuz I
haven't played any, and I'm going to bed now.
Hehehe...
