    I enjoy the screenshot showing Calculator taking 617 MB of RAM. It feels very modern indeed.

      You have an amazing eye for details. Might be the "wine calculator" from the desktop.

        No, that's shown lower down with Redmond chrome. maybe the "cocoa calculator"?

      the desktop needs 41mb so that must be some external stuff with overhead

      That's just Cocoa Calculator junk.

      I tried porting Cocoa and decided not to. Will remove.

      There are many different calculators to choose from, including being able to make your own or an example one from VUI or VUI2.

      Any of these other calculators can be used instead, and would be using 10 or 15 times less RAM. Therefore, seems like trying to insinuate or make something out of nothing.
