At the risk of getting back on topic ;) (and I actually really like Perl; it's saved my butt here in viewdraw-schematic-land many times. But cannot really comment on its use by real s/w engrs for real applications.)
Anyway, regarding the memory footprint, it does seem large (but we can still ask, does it matter that much). Here are the top easily-recognizable memory users on my laptop right now: slim 60M javaw 35M (softsqueeze) thunderbird 33M outlook 33M (don't give me crap--I need it for mtgs) explorer 32M ... firefox 29M (7th in list) visio 25M ... excel 17M (11th in list) slimtray 7.5M (17th in list) I have zero music files on this laptop; just using slim for internet feeds with the softsqueeze infc. I'm just wondering: is much of this footprint coming from the plugins or is it mostly the main app? The plugins are what really make slimserver attractive, IMO, so I wouldn't really care to remove them. I don't have any loaded other than the ones which come packaged with slimserver. On the laptop I don't care much about the 60MB; I'm priviledged to have 2GB DRAM. However, on the home machine it's only 512MB. (so funny--the first hard drive I bought for my mother was 20MB :) -- Dave D _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
