If I sort the processes by decreasing resident memory, I see that lightdm requires 32MB of memory, that is more than X ! Since lightdm just sleeps after login in, I think it is wasting memory. Could it possibly load/unload features dynamically as gdm already did (many small processes which were launched when a feature was required) ?
