My current running Xorg server, built with -O0 -g3 -ggdb, having been
through a few suspend cycles, hosting a full GNOME Shell session with
several billion tabs in a long-running Chromium instance, a couple of
terminals, and a freshly-opened gedit, is currently sitting at 20MB
resident memory usage, of which 11MB is shared. The freshly-opened
gedit instance has 25MB resident, of which 17MB is shared. Bloat is
in the eye of the beholder, I guess.
(Those numbers are RES/SHR respectively in top. Correct me if I'm wrong about what they mean.)
