Xfce4-Cinnamon RAM statistics
Posted: Tue Dec 25, 2012 4:23 pm
I ran the free command on both my main Cinnamon GUI and the Xfce4 I added through Package Manager and this is what I came up with:
Cinnamon:
Xfce:
Savings = Xfce used - Cinnamon used = 398,736 - 744,156 = -345,520
Savings percentage = Savings / Total = 345,520 / 2,051,000 = 16.84%
Considering that Cinnamon chews up about 35% of RAM, the 16.84% savings in RAM use on my system is pretty significant.
Does anyone else want to post their own numbers?
