FVWM: fvwm memory usage

Hi,

I am a long time fvwm user, and recently I also tried out enlightenment.
Enlightenment cannot really satisfy my key binding need, so I am going
back to fvwm.

But I found that, enlightenment with a really light theme(the defaul for
sawfish) only uses 1.5-2.0MB on my system. This includes both the pager
running transparently and the icon box as well.

I remembered when I was running fvwm, fvwm, fvwm-buttons, fvwm-pager
altogether is well over 2MB. So am I wrong or misunderstanding the
definition of "light weight"?

BTW, I thought sawfish is "light weight" too, after trying out, the
sawfish process plus the list interpreter all add up to 4.5MB. How is
that light weight?

Please clarify with my understanding...

Thanks.

Shao.
