baseline.py:
import gtk
window = gtk.Window ()
window.show ()
gtk.main ()
pmap says:
3532K writable-private, 14284K readonly-private, and 28K shared
baseline.cs:
using Gtk;
class Foo {
public static void Main (string[] args)
{
Gtk.Window window;
Gtk.Application.Init ();
window = new Gtk.Window (Gtk.WindowType.Toplevel);
window.Show ();
Gtk.Application.Run ();
}
}
pmap says:
3324K writable-private, 16224K readonly-private, and 4868K shared
"Look, Mono uses 200 KB less writable memory! And, uh, it shares more
data! Or something!"
These numbers mean nothing. Those tiny "apps" are perfectly useless.

The main point about performance is whether users think it is a good
deal.
So Firefox eats 400 MB. Do I think it's a good deal? Absolutely! It's
the best browser out there.
So Tomboy eats 15 MB. Do I think it's a good deal? Absolutely! It's
the best note-taking app I know.
So OpenOffice takes 100 MB. Do I think it's a good deal? Absolutely!
I wouldn't go back to Magicpoint EVER.
So F-spot takes <whatever> MB. So what? It's the best photo
cataloguing app we have.
Can those numbers be improved? Absolutely. And we should do it.
