i've had e running for 24hrs - same rev as above:
1434 root 20 0 15980 7520 4776 S 0.0 6.1 1:29.26 enlightenment
so all of 2.7mb of ram for e (i'm not including shared pages which are
executable pages, shared libs and mmap()ed files). which.. in the scheme of
things... is really not much (considering how much e does)! :) i agree with
holger - it was some dbus message reference leak in the gsm fetching -
probably a result of merging the patches for fso support. i went over that code
the other day and fixed a bunch of issues.
