Re: Memory usage..

I wonder whether the higher memory consumption of GNOME is simply caused by GTK's double buffering and not by out-of-process applets etc...

GTK doesn't double-buffer, IIRC. Qt4 does, though, with a correspondingly large increase in memory consumption.

"GTK doesn't double-buffer"

I thought it does double buffering since GTK+ 2.0 (released 10 years ago)?
