Not much actually. On my system, I just checked, restarted fvwm,
checked, went back to fvwm2, checked again, and here's the results:
USER PID %CPU %MEM SZ RSS TTY STAT STIME TIME COMMAND
hines 43806 0.2 1.0 596 860 hft/1 S Apr 15 14:06 fvwm2 -version
^^^ ^^^
hines 44000 3.7 1.0 424 656 hft/1 S 11:09:55 0:01 fvwm -version
^^^ ^^^
hines 44011 12.0 1.0 520 784 hft/1 S 11:10:48 0:03 fvwm2 -version
^^^ ^^^
Same number of windows & icons (~40 total).
This falls in line with the last test I did, which is in the FAQ:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
8) What's the relative memory usage for the various window managers
out there?
A: Here's a little table comparing some of them. It was done on an
AIX based IBM RS6000 model 355 using the same number of windows (3)
and XSession to switch between the window managers, and I used
'top' to show the values:
SIZE RES
545K 652K fvwm2 (fvwm 2.0-pl35)
457K 528K fvwm (fvwm 1.24rb)
856K 960K ctwm (ctwm 3.2p1)
1004K 1156K mwm (mwm 1.2)
543K 632K twm (???)
263K 328K aixwm (a simple ugly window manager included w/ aix)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I should probably run the tests again and update this table, but the
results haven't changed that much most likely. I would like to throw
a few more entries in there.
