OK, more details: %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND 5.0 0.9 34068 19568 pts/4 S 17:59 0:01 local/bin/emacs 1.2 0.5 37628 10944 ? Ss 17:58 0:00 /usr/bin/vim.gtk -g In the resident memory size there is bigger difference. /usr/bin/vim.gtk is from vim-gtk package (1:7.1.314-3+lenny2) and local/bin/emacs is the current development version of Emacs which I compiled today from Emacs Git repository. It's compiled with GTK toolkit and pretty much with all features I think. > just don't misrepresent verifiable facts. In this context what do you mean by misrepresenting verifiable facts? I wrote "34 MB" and "37 MB" in my original mail.
