Well, there's problem with perl scripts leaking and memory fragmentation etc. so there's simple solution -- doesn't use any scripts in irssi. Also, you can use "/upgrade" command from time to time. It just reexec irssi, but your configuration will remain same and you will still use that pretty same connection to irc server -- no quits+rejoins. > > It certainly isn't anywhere near as heavyweight as, say, pidgin, but I'd > stop short of calling irssi "pretty light".
