When you --enable-everything (which _is_ unfair, as this involves xft
+and full locale/XIM support which are quite bloaty inside libX11 and my
+libc), the two diverge, but not unreasnobaly so.

The very large size of the text section is explained by the east-asian +encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but nothing else +and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core fonts that use those +encodings. The BSS size comes from the 64k emergency buffer that my c++ +compiler allocates (but of course doesn't use unless you are out of +memory). Also, using an xft font instead of a core font immediately adds a +few megabytes of RSS. Xft indeed is responsible for a lot of RSS even when +not used.
+Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of one, +a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use more +memory.
+Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k), this +still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like gnome-terminal +(21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or konsole (22200k + extra +43180k in daemons that stay around after exit, plus half aminute of +startup time, including the hundreds of warnings it spits out), it fares +extremely well *g*.
+My personal stance on this is that C++ is less portable than C, but in +the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability limits +are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale support and unix +domain sockets, which are all less portable than C++ itself.
+Regarding the bloat, see the above question: It's easy to write programs +in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to write programs in +C++ that don't. C++ also often comes with large libraries, but this is +not necessarily the case with GCC. Here is what rxvt links against on my +system with a minimal config:
++ libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002aaaaabc3000) + libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaaadde000) + libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002aaaab01d000) + /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000)+
And here is rxvt-unicode:
++ libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002aaaaabc3000) + libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00002aaaaada2000) + libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaaaeb0000) + libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002aaaab0ee000) + /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000)+
No large bloated libraries (of course, none were linked in statically), +except maybe libX11 :)
