So....How many processes do you have running on startup and during normal usage

[Josh]

So, I got this idea from the irc channel ( irc://irc.efnet.org/donationcoder ), so here goes.

How many processes do you have running on A. Startup, and B. After startup (during normal usage).

A. 58
B. 65

[kimmchii]

A. 11
B. 20-25

[jgpaiva]

A: 30
B: 37

[app103]

on the P4:
A. 60
B. 70 (at least)

on the P1:
A. 40
B. 50 (at least)

60 upwards after startup.

With email and browser plus all security programs (4), i usually run around 40.

B 82 (with gnome)   
B 62 (with fluxbox)
(includes firefox, code::blocks, a terminal, irc, etc,..)

kimmchi, you're the man!  Are you a gamer?

I got 26 at startup, 56 normal use.

[kimmchii]

superboyac,

i'm a minimalist, not a gamer.

Personally I think memory usage is a better goal to aim for. With careful pruning of services I used to get sub 70mb for XP usage after boot. Now though I'm using XP x64 which boots into over 250mb usage but I haven't bothered to try and tune it as the difference isn't noticable anyway.

Check the "Show processes from all users" box ;-)

A. ~50
B. ~63

RAM Usually 1G in use.... 2G total.
P4 3.0Ghz HT

hmm,
I have 102 in the B section, don't know how many at startup.
Time to prune...
