How does btop compare against a GTK+ task manager in terms of memory usage when you include the terminal emulator in the btop count? It'd be a more technically correct comparison that way.

Great point. But to be honest I already have an emulator open 99% of the time. So there's no particular overhead for me. But I will include your point in the update. Thank you for your time!
