XFCE vs ICEWM

Just for your information:

Memory usage of various applications expressed as a percentage of total memory (total memory is 292mb Not sure if the swap file is included)

I am just using ps -e v to see memory usage.

XFCE = 2.0% 5.84mb (I think)
XF Taskbar = 1.6% 4.62mb
XF Desktop = 1.9% 5.548mb
XFCE Panel = 3.6% 10.5mb
XFCE mcs Manager = 2.1% 6.1mb
Total 26mb of resources.

ICEWM = 1.1% 3.21mb
ICEWM-tray = 0.6 1.75mb
ICEWM-Session = 0.3 0.8mb
Total 5mb of resources.

Ede
eworkpanel = 1.2% 3.5mb
eiconman = 1.3% 3.76mb
total 3.5mb of resources (7mb with icons!)

(please note that ede is the only one above to come with an icon manager for the desktop).
Other icon managers

Rox --pinboard= 2.4 7mb
idesk= 2.1 6.13mb
dfm= 1.0 3mb

These are only meant to be rough guides. I do not think that they are accurate in Memory usage but show a rough comparisson. I tried idesk vs rox-pinboard on another leightweight system and Rox won out (instead of idesk this time).

Ede looking to be definate contender for Ubuntu lite. XFCE struck out.

icewm又快又省资源
但是我用不惯。
xfce我基本凑合。

刚刚装 了一个Xfce4感觉还不错，东西挺全的，界面也不错

感觉上是 IceWM 作为窗口管理器反应最快
