I don't think that the rpm size has much to do with a lightweight process.
Shared libs, bad programming, ... can all easily cause a small rpm to cause
more disk space, memory and CPU usage than a larger one.
If I have to do something remotely or just want a quick glance at
something, I still use xpdf. Old interface but just like vi, once you got
used to it, it's just quicker and easier than most modern alternatives.
