The 33mb number is under AntiX 17 64 bit full. Under 16.2 32 bit full it is 2.6mb.
Is there a way to configure it to use less memory under AntiX 17?

As you’ll notice from other posted results, SLiM don’t got no belly big enough to handle 33 megaburgers
;^)Thanks for helping…
This is with 2 mrxvt terminal tabs, mc as root, firefox with 4 tabs, wpa_supplicant, wpa_cli and dhclient for wifi, conky and spacefm with 2 panels and 6 tabs. The desktop is the default Rox-Icewm. I didn’t change anything related to slim, I don’t think. I’m not sure how to diagnose other than to lad the same o/s on another partition with no mods to see if its my tweaks causing it.

IIRC you re using hibernate/suspend and not rebooting. Maybe that explains the higher than normal RAM usage of all apps.
Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.
antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
Thanks, Anti. I didn’t know that. I will reboot and compare
I rebooted and reran mem. Slim is still taking a lot of memory.

chiming in on this.
fresh boot of my 64 bit antiX install to the default rox-icewm desktop gives me a slim usage as reported by ps_mem.py of about 3.7 MiB (total).
If I change desktops by logging out and logging back in, that goes to 15.1 MiB. I did not observe this when using the “change desktops” feature.
I did a fresh install to a different partition with no mods at all while eating lunch and the results are similar. I lost some memory because I am using wicd and lxterminal, but slim is still around 33mb
When it boots, I have to give add to the grub boot line:
acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=WindowsOther than that, no changes whatsoever

Attachments:
While the high memory consumption existed, what was the assigned background?
? Was it the stock /usr/share/slim/themes/antiX/background.jpg.
related (I forgot to mention in the “lightweight” topic):
I’ve noticed that the existence of “tray icons” and “desktop icons” can consume 1MB each.
The overhead is due to cached pixbufs when comparatively large png imagefiles are used, vs tiny xpm resource files.
(BTW: by default, fluxbox will only cache 200kb of xpm resources)I could swear that I replaced (and removed background.jpg) with a very simple background.png and the memory use dropped to about 4 mb, but its back to 33-35 range again, on both the fresh install and my tweaked system.

antiX is shipping an old customised version of slim since the 1.3.6 versions removed the F1 toggle when using a session. It was changed to session_dir since slim 1.3.6 now looks there ie /usr/share/xsessions to auto-detect any window managers). However, this does not pick up an Rox/Space/min options and we would have to edit those session files to work with antiX.
