I belong to the 'smaller is better' faction (at least with respect to system resources "annihilated" by an application :-)), so as long as possible, I'd like to use "u?rxvt" instead of the GNOME-terminal, for instance (I mean look at the `ps' output for those two...) and `ion3' instead of the GNOME DESKTOP. so, at least under MacOS, I would like to stay with `gv' or `xpdf' under X11 and use `Preview' otherwise. just for curiosity: is `evince' significantly faster than `Imagemagick/display' with regards to display of image formats (jpeg, png, etc)?
