At least we refuse feature requests that can affect responsiveness
(i.e. CPU usage), only optional functionality (thru context menu for
example) being added there. Only feature which will affect CPU will be
plugins system which is planned but I'll do it as much as possible on
idle to not affect responsiveness. A tiny bit increased memory usage is
unavoidable unfortunately, because new features execution code and data
will consume the memory, but I believe it will be really just a tiny bit.

As much I can say, GTK3 version consumes 20-30% more memory than GTK2
one. PCMan told me Qt consumption lies between those two and I have no
reasons to doubt. I didn't make any CPU usage tests on them though, it
will require good testing plan and number of repeated tests to get all
the statistics. I'm not much good in that.

It's why we have to make a decision now which toolkit we will use
when GTK2 will be abandoned. It is not abandoned now, just because a lot
of things still use it - a whole DE such as XFCE for example. But yes, it
will be abandoned eventually. So discussed this we got to agreement that
Qt is much better as second toolkit to future migration than GTK3 is.

Thank you very much.
