Understanding memory usage on Linux
"If you run KDE for your desktop, but mostly use Gnome applications,
then you are paying a large price for a lot of redundant (but different)
shared libraries. By sticking to just KDE or just Gnome apps as much
as possible, you reduce your overall memory usage due to the reduced
marginal memory cost of running new KDE or Gnome applications,
which allows Linux to use more memory for other interesting things..." |
