Package: fvwm Version: 1:2.5.30.ds-1 Severity: wishlist
Hello, I would like to quote this: Under FVWM, my RAM was about half full and my swap was almost never used at all. Under Gnome, RAM is at 95% (with ~5-10% being cache) and swap is at 30%. That’s with the exact same set of programs running. Now Gnome is definitely keeping some more info about running processes in RAM than FVWM is, because as I said, the Alt-Tab window list on FVWM takes forever to generate... but still, over a half a gig more memory needed by Gnome? That’s absurd. It wouldn’t be a problem, except the constant swapping really slows the system down. I also noted that fvwm is consumming resources without reasons. Openbox is far the lightest for that, compared to fvwm and fluxbox. Openbox has ideal management for that. However fvwm could be better although so so great.
