Ahhh I see now
The process plasma-desktop (with pid 3728) is using approximately 129.7 MB of memory.
It is using 115.7 MB privately, and a further 44.8 MB that is, or could be, shared with other programs.
Dividing up the shared memory between all the processes sharing that memory we get a reduced shared memory usage of 14.0 MB. Adding that to the private usage, we get the above mentioned total memory footprint of 129.7 MB.
Tho there chart seems to indicate almost 2x that.
So still question their numbers. Mine running two panels and yaWP weather applet.
And could probably trim it down close to 100mb. So don't know where they are getting the 201mb from.
Still eludes me why a 50mb vs. a 200mb DE process is significant in the overall functioning of the Desktop environment tho.
Unless you are running a 512mb system and then wonder how significant the savings is?
Like I mentioned I could be wrong but what's the point once you start running apps?
And how well that DE performs in doing tasks and overall function.
And eliminating features or functions to have it skinny isn't an issue for me and I assume most others?
And would think most users have at least 2gb-4gb systems nowadays.
But each their own I guess.
Some get joy just knowing that their DE is running in less than 100mb whether they really have a need for it or not.
So don't want to rain on their parade and hope them joy in striving for the smallest running DE.
