Hello,

  I did a small prstat -U lookup on our servers.

  We have a bit more than a stripped-down kiosk session which would
only run Xsun and uttsc - we also have a CDE window manager and my
FLButselector variant of the three-button selector.

  An idle session thus takes about 25-35Mb of RAM, while a session
with a single uttsc connection takes about 40Mb (of which my bash
wrapper uttsc-direct seems to hog up 3Mb), a 2-uttsc session takes
66Mb.

  An admin's session with 4 uttsc's and a number of dtterm terminal
shells takes a whopping 140Mb.

  One stray Xsun process consumed 800Mb though. Strange...

  So I guess a 100Mb estimate may give a good headroom for double or
triple expansion in a certain scenario of one uttsc and no window
managers in a kiosk session.

  This was stat'ed on a SPARC SRSS 4.0 (running on a Netra X1, with
its 500MHz US-II CPU being okay for the task of at least 10 uttsc
sessions to Windows with lags noticeable, but well under 1 second -
except for certain bugs with MS Office and animated websites' terminal
performance). All desktops run at 1280*1024.
