We need numbers, not idle rhetoric.  I'm not going to believe or disbelieve
you until some proof can be provided.

OH MY GOD!!!  XFree86 IS SO BLOATED!!

I'll ask again, when was the last time you looked at the X protocol
specification?  Do you realise how much an X server actually does?  Have you
looked at the resident size of the windos GDI?

XFree86 is big because it *does things*.

Let's look at running processes, shall we?

HOLY CRAP!  XFree86 HAS A RESIDENT SIZE OF 8 MEGS!  NO WAY!
