Managing Memory Usage

Memory usage can be determined by using the free utility with cached memory considered to be free. By running qpe with memory options specified memory usage can be reduced and overall performance increased.

For example, specifying:

    -fontfamilies helvetica -iconsizes 14 -languages en_US

without options results in qpe using 12M, however with options qpe uses 7.3M.

Removing applications that are not required will also increase startup and performance as the number of icons to load into memory is decreased.
