[openbox] recommended WM using low resources?

Tue Oct 11 18:29:39 EDT 2011

Why are everyone so freak about resource usage? a simple gtk window
(gnome-calculator) take more memory than openbox managing 15 windows...

$ ps aux | egrep "openbox|USER|gcalctool" | grep -v "grep"
USER       PID %CPU *%MEM*    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME *COMMAND*
lucas    12140  1.5  *0.4* 317140 18180 pts/9    Sl+  19:14   0:00 *
gcalctool*
lucas    12366  0.0  *0.2* 115060 10216 ?        S    Oct06   0:26 *openbox
--replace*

My tip: forget about resource usage and get the window manager that best fit
your real needs...
