It would be interesting to compare this release to 2.10, to see if the memory footprint was reduced (or other general optimizations). I'm sure that with GTK now using Cairo, drawing operations should be wicked fast.
Anyone have any thoughts/info?
In Breezy (2.12 today) mine uses a little less RAM (Firefox is still the big hog) than before with Hoary 2.10 (a few days ago)). Yet the desktop rendering is not any faster. The fonts are better...but the rendering is not "snappier." At least not until I turn on xcompmgr, just like in Hoary. Then it flies.
