My measurements. Mostly past ones, that is, but it was visible even in this one in Exmap. E.g. Klipper can be both an applet and a systray app and the latter is measurably more heavy. > It is one of your "conclusions", but I see no evidence for it, and KDE also > runs IO-slaves out-of-process. It's not processes per se that are heavy, it's all the setup they do when they're full KDE apps (which e.g. systray apps are). KIO slaves do much smaller setup (no X connection, no fonts, no UI styles, ...) and are therefore lighter. -- Lubos Lunak KDE developer -------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org Lihovarska 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 972 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http//www.suse.cz _______________________________________________ Kde-optimize mailing list Kde-optimize@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-optimize
