I'm surprised at the footprint of evilwm (217MB/62MB), as shown in the htop window here: http://awesome.naquadah.org/w/images/6screenshot.jpg http://awesome.naquadah.org/w/images/6screenshot.jpg I had always assumed it was pretty lean. I use evilwm, and on my system it weighs in at 32MB/2.2MB (virtual/resident). What does awesome bring to the table that minimal WMs like ratpoison and evilwm do not? (Not trying to get into a WM pissing match. I'm genuinely curious.)

Wow, awesome 3.4.13 uses 17000/7904 on my system at the moment.

  FWIW, xmonad at 3480/1916 virt / res... But I took care to make it lean.

    To be fair, xmonad has no taskbar or widgets. I use Taffybar with it and it adds about 10Mb.

That's 62k resident, not 62m, and the screenshot is of awesome, not evilwm.
