Chunky?

OS/2 1.2 was "chunky" compared to OS/2 1.3.

Gnome sets the gold standard for a whole new category of bloat and sloth .
Even KDE, which has a very bad case of kitchen-sink-itis, seems a hotrod by
comparason.  Gnome can drive a machine with 128M right to its knees
trashing even if you're not running anything.  I use KDE every day on a
machine with 64M and it survives OK running Moz, GCC and several xterms.
