162.IX Item "Isn't rxvt supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?"
163I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause extra
164bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you can see
165that the urxvt binary is larger (due to some encoding tables always being
166compiled in), but it actually uses less memory (\s-1RSS\s0) after startup. Even
167with \f(CW\*(C`\-\-disable\-everything\*(C'\fR, this comparison is a bit unfair, as many
168features unique to urxvt (locale, encoding conversion, iso14755 etc.) are
169already in use in this mode.

177When you \f(CW\*(C`\-\-enable\-everything\*(C'\fR (which _is_ unfair, as this involves xft
178and full locale/XIM support which are quite bloaty inside libX11 and my
179libc), the two diverge, but not unreasnobaly so.

185.Ve
186.Sp
187The very large size of the text section is explained by the east-asian
188encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but nothing else
189and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core fonts that use those
190encodings. The \s-1BSS\s0 size comes from the 64k emergency buffer that my c++
191compiler allocates (but of course doesn't use unless you are out of
192memory). Also, using an xft font instead of a core font immediately adds a
193few megabytes of \s-1RSS\s0. Xft indeed is responsible for a lot of \s-1RSS\s0 even when
194not used.
195.Sp
196Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of one,
197a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use more
198memory.
199.Sp
200Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k), this
201still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like gnome-terminal
202(21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or konsole (22200k + extra
20343180k in daemons that stay around after exit, plus half aminute of
204startup time, including the hundreds of warnings it spits out), it fares
205extremely well *g*.
206.IP "Why \*(C+, isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool?" 4
207.IX Item "Why , isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool?"
208Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is: I had
209to write it, and \*(C+ allowed me to write and maintain it in a fraction
210of the time and effort (which is a scarce resource for me). Put even
211shorter: It simply wouldn't exist without \*(C+.
212.Sp
213My personal stance on this is that \*(C+ is less portable than C, but in
214the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability limits
215are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale support and unix
216domain sockets, which are all less portable than \*(C+ itself.
217.Sp
218Regarding the bloat, see the above question: It's easy to write programs
219in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to write programs in
220\&\*(C+ that don't. \*(C+ also often comes with large libraries, but this is
221not necessarily the case with \s-1GCC\s0. Here is what rxvt links against on my
222system with a minimal config:

243.IP "Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt\-unicode?" 4
244.IX Item "Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt-unicode?"
245rxvt-unicode does not directly support tabs. It will work fine with
246tabbing functionality of many window managers or similar tabbing programs,
247and its embedding-features allow it to be embedded into other programs,
248as witnessed by \fIdoc/rxvt\-tabbed\fR or the upcoming \f(CW\*(C`Gtk2::URxvt\*(C'\fR perl
249module, which features a tabbed urxvt (murxvt) terminal as an example
