Re: gtk2 very slow and memory hungry?
Thanx, but for gweather the shared is about 6.4MB and the total is 8.9.
2.5MB is quite a bit of memory. Gnome-Terminal uses 4.7MB without
shared. So I suppose it is fine right. Anyway, don't know why things
slow down that much. You have any system freezes when starting gnome
app?
