Hi Stephen,

I popped 11.10 on to a VM with 256MB RAM and ran the following rather
unscientific tests....

At rest, with just LXTerminal and top running:

Mem Used = 214 MB, Swap Used = 0 MB

With Synaptics Package Manager running:

Mem Used = 244 MB, Swap Used = 10 MB

With LSC Running:

Mem Used = 245 MB, Swap Used = 6MB

I rebooted the VM between running Synaptic and LSC as when you quit either
not all the memory returns to the pool. I'm guessing both load libraries
which remain.

IMHO, LSC is certainly not a memory hog compared to Synaptic :) Well done! A
polished GUI for newcomers that does eat up memory! Keep it mean, lean and
keen :)

Regards,

Phill.
