Alright, I guess I’ll throw out some (semi) hard numbers. Last I checked, CDE 2.2.3 ran absolutely great on my 166mhz pentium with 128MB of RAM. RSS on dtwin was… less than 20MB. Maybe 4, or 16, but definitely not 200. If that’s what you’re seeing from CDE itself, then something has gone terribly wrong.
You’re sure it’s CDE taking the resources, and not other programs on your machine? Can you supply more concrete information? -- Matthew R.
