I can't believe that. Without anything loaded LyX uses around 15 MB of
RAM. When a big document is loaded, say UserGuide.lyx, add 10 MB to
that. This is on Windows. I guess the 8 MB doesn't count the Qt dlls in
memory. This is fair as long as you use them for other software (eg.
KDE).
You are right.
With `top`: and no other QT application running, I get:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
no document:
2982 milde 20 0 53336 19m 13m S 0.0 7.9 0:02.74 lyx
de/UserGuide.lyx:
2982 milde 20 0 58412 25m 14m R 0.0 10.3 0:05.74 lyx
second document:
2982 milde 20 0 59968 27m 14m S 0.7 10.9 0:07.34 lyx
I cannot reproduce the 8M so I am not sure whether this was just taken from
the wrong line or the reporting command splitting the QT ressources between
all running QT apps or what.
Thanks for correcting.
Thanks for the confirmation ;-)
That said, I think 25 m for a document like the user guide is
*excellent* if you compare the needed memory for a comparable document
using OO and MSWord. This is IMVSO a killer argument in favor of LyX. If
you add to that the starting time and the document loading time
arguments then, well, I wonder why all those people still use
conventional word processors :-)
