As compared to?  On a 24MB Sparc (LX) running -current, with X, 2 xterms,
xclock, xload, and xconsole, vmstat reports 7696 'fre'.  On my 24MB
Pentium 120 notebook, with Win95 booted, a memuse tool reports 15% (3686)
as free.  

Everyone seems to like to slam X, calling it a pig, etc.  Yet what else
is there?  The only other "standard" I've seen is *Windows*, which isn't
an option.  Should we all be running MGR or something?
