I'm not a typical "if my browser uses half my memory, it's cool" person. I strive for utility as well. But a communication client that supports every major platform out there, as well as all their options and features, is supposed to take up less than the fucking Task Manager? That's asking a bit much. And we've just established that the issue was that you had all the plugins you did not use enabled (5 clients open, effectively.) If my math is right, Trillian actually uses less than GAIM with two networks.
If you use command line so much, why don't you just get a command line client without all these wasteful high-memory thingamabobs and butans?
