Hi all Just today I made gswitchit applet back into the standalone application. And then I looked at gnome-system-monitor. AFAIU this tool shows the segments for applications. The things I see - well, probably they are expected system-level developers - but for me they are new and interesting. Probably, I misinterpret things - I would be delighted if anyone point me out. First of all, each shared library having some data segments within the application has separate VM pages for them (do I get it right?). My gswitchit uses >50 shared libraries having data segments (most of them are only 1 page long - but not all). So at least 50 pages for the data of the shared libraries are allocated. Which is 4K*50 = 200K (it seems, in reality this number is much higher). This is not including the data allocated in the application itself (which is constant for shlib and app-based applets). So, even having agreed with overall Michael's comments, I still assume that price of the application's stability is the resource consumption which cannot be simply ignored in all the cases. Cheers, -- Sergey
