Hello, I just did some benchmarks for the new Qt5-based LXQt. I did it on the same Debian virtual machine with minimal setup. After cold boot, the results were as follows: 1. Plain openbox without other apps: 69 MB 2. XFCE: 105 MB 3. LXDE (gtk+2): 89 MB 4: LXQt (Qt5): 109 MB (more than XFCE!!) Last time I did the test for LXQt Qt4, it used 37 MB more than openbox. Now it increased a little (3MB). Of course this can be caused by the differences of autostart apps since openbox does not start some of them by default, the memory usage of LXQt is not satisfactory enough. Besides, the startup of the desktop is really slow. It takes about twice the time of LXDE gtk+ to load. I haven't came up with better ways to get these numbers down. Some simple profiling did not show any single bottle neck, so this is not an easy task.
The only sensible way to get memory usage down and speed up startup seems to be a single process + loadable module approach, like the one proposed by Alexis López Zubieta and their MoonlightDE. I'd like to ask again if you guys support the idea? If there are no objections, I'd like to start doing some experiment with that. (in their own branches, of course) Comments are needed. Please share your ideas.
