Actually if you recompile it with only the necessary options...
prova# ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/XF*
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1445888 Mar 28 1996 /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_S3
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root 10 2668252 Mar 14 1996 /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_S3.21R
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1458176 Mar 23 1996 /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root 10 2828389 Nov 3 1995 /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA.21R
you save a lot of memory. This is a 2.1.R system with various utilities
recompiled to fit my needs (including the use of phkmalloc).
