Here are some snapshots of X10.4 display server memory sizes on
an HP 9000/350.  These are as reported by a monitor program,
except for translating from pages to bytes and reformatting to
make the results more readable.

Note that this is only display server memory use -- doesn't include
clients.



X10.4 Topcat display server, serving typical client set:

	Text	245,760		Data	 114,688	Stack	12,288

	Current resident set size:        118,784
	Maximum resident set size:        364,554


X10.4 Renaissance display server, minimal client load:

	Text	270,336		Data	 225,280	Stack	12,288

	Current resident set size:        233,472
	Maximum resident set size:        503,808


X10.4 Renaissance display server, large pixmaps stored in server:

	Text	270,336		Data	5,177,344	Stack	12,288

	Current resident set size:      5,185,536
	Maximum resident set size:      5,455,872
