How big is the X Server in MegaBytes ? My calculations after using the "monitor" application on a HP 9000/360 inticate that the X Server is at leaset 5.6 MB !!!? I would think that it depends on what server one uses (HP, SUN, MIT distribution). I have a HP-UX 6.5 with HPX11R1 (R2 and R3 bug fixes) on a HP9000/360. Is the R3 smaller ? It would be interesting to receive information of various Servers depending on platform and revision number. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thorvaldur Egill Sigurdsson | Internet: valdi@kerfi.hi.is Engineering Research Institute | ...mcvax!hafro!krafla!kerfi.hi.is!valdi University of ICELAND | Phone: 354-1-694699 Hjardarhagi 2-6 107 Reykjavik, ICELAND ------------------------------------------------------------------------

I assume that you're speaking of the size of the current run-time
image. That size is somewhat dependent on the about of data that your
clients have asked the server to keep track of for you. How long has
it been since you killed and restarted the server? Although I
don't know of any, there may be memory leaks in the server. In any
case, I know of a number of programs which can be made to cause the
server to grow pathologically.

Displaying large pixmaps (esp. color) is one way to make your server grow.
