It’s not just that. XFree86 4, for example, is a memory hog compared
to XF86 3, and Unicode support eats up lots and lots of RAM.
xserver-xfbdev based on kdrive still exists, right?
But AFAIK it lacks Amiga and Atari frame buffer device support. Fixing
that has been on my list for a looooong time...
I have less packages (incl.daemons) installed than 12 years ago, but the
system is still much slower.
Hm, slower too?
Yep. No free RAM, so everything causes swapping.
