-
- Even the most simple MUI interface I've seen eats 400 kB of memory.
- MUI is fast on you system because your system is fast, not because MUI itself
- is fast.

- Maybe the MUI prefs programme from MUI 2.3 was beta? It was the first MUI

- Neither BGUI nor Triton use anywhere near as much memory as MUI, and both,
- especially Triton, are noticably faster.
