Then I did some measurements with exmap and added the results to the bottom of the wiki page. In summary, you can save: * > 500kb by using "Simple" instead of "Clearlooks" * 4500kb by removing the Evolution calendar component * about 2500kb-3000kb by removing all libpurple protocol plugins except the one you use * 38500kb by not using trackerd and the Tracker applet (tracker is an equivalent to beagle mentioned on the wiki page) * 15500kb by removing your distribution's (e.g. ubuntu's) apps from session startup (bluetooth-applet, nm-applet, gnome-power-manager) * 16000kb by not running nautilus [1] I have just done the measurements, not yet examined it in much detail. Any comments, suggestions, requests? Thanks, Rodney [1] BTW I'm not advocating not running any file manager! It was just a measurement I did.
