Yes, and neither comes close to 30Mb you cited. Of course what
were you using to report the size? I didn't see a ps output in yours,
just your word.
OK, more details:
%CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
5.0 0.9 34068 19568 pts/4 S 17:59 0:01 local/bin/emacs
1.2 0.5 37628 10944 ? Ss 17:58 0:00 /usr/bin/vim.gtk -g
In the resident memory size there is bigger difference.
/usr/bin/vim.gtk is from vim-gtk package (1:7.1.314-3+lenny2) and
local/bin/emacs is the current development version of Emacs which I
compiled today from Emacs Git repository. It's compiled with GTK toolkit
and pretty much with all features I think.
just don't misrepresent verifiable facts.
In this context what do you mean by misrepresenting verifiable facts? I
wrote "34 MB" and "37 MB" in my original mail. Your message has a
slightly aggressive tone which I don't understand.
