Exactly. I just checked and my firefox instance (with 2 tabs open) is taking over 40mb, intellij (java editor) is 70mb with nothing open, and picasa is 50mb (even outlook takes 40). Memory is cheap, even PCs are cheap. I bought a PC this weekend (AMD 3100+, 512mb ram, 100gb disk) for just over $300. A server side process like slim running in 70mb is pretty damn good in my experience (as someone who writes such things for a living). Most of the apps I work with take well over a gig. -- radish _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
