My i3bar is using 162MB, but I use a pretty extensively customized py3status. The /usr/bin/i3 executable itself reports not even a couple hundred KB for me.

- ninjin 4y agoA couple hundred KB is very impressive for i3. Even the ridiculously minimalist dwm (with a few patches applied) clocks in at 15,000 KB on my desktop. It does ship with a status bar though.
- checkyoursudo 4y agoI was reading the wrong line in htop. The i3 executable clocks in at about 22,000 KB on my setup, so dwm probably still wins. I had to double check, because coming in smaller than your report of dwm failed my sanity check. :) (I use st as my terminal, so I am familiar.)
