How many processes are you running?

How many processes are you running?
currently I'm running 16 processes. That's after cleaning up and removing ALOT of programs I didn't need.
see screenshot:
EDIT: screenshot is a little inaccurate because I had to open a terminal to take a screenshot

Processes: 209

I've got 134 processes here at the moment, 2 of which are running, quite a lot more than your cut down lean system you've got there nathangrubb.

well today I just decided I didn't need any WM/DE besides fluxbox, and a lot of programs I didn't need like evolution, or gnome-games,etc..
EDIT: oh wait, I already said that

31, at least locally

[smartboyathome]

Running with 26 processes. Not bad when I have 11 windows open. :o

I had ~4,000 processes running on Damn Small Linux. It was slow. I was stress-testing an embedded GPS application and I opened 7 instances of it, all trying to grab the same GPS data from a single USB receiver. 6 instances ran OK, but when I started the 7th instance, the thread count jump from ~300 to ~4,000 over several minutes.

I was able to recover the session by furiously deleting threads. It was like a video game. Perhaps a game like that already exists.

I think Linux has a 10K fork limit, but I didn't get that far. Of course you can always recompile the kernel for a larger limit, if you really need it.

Stop giving me ideas.

How do you count them all.

[LookTJ]

86 total, 2 running.

71 total, 2 running

Just got 2631 tabs in gnome-terminal running and my arm is sore. Is there any programs less resource intensive to use.

[GSF1200S]

Ive been doing ALOT of crap.. wine, kopete, kalarm, kontact, amarok, web browsing, vm stuff, installing and removing with apt, etc.. so, im up to 123 with 2 running. At boot im at about 83 with 1 running. I imagine the guys running lower are prolly on Arch. Arch runs very light and fast.

[Mr.Auer]

119 processes, 5-8 of them actually running at any time..cpu between 15-100% (im ripping a cd and encoding it). Ktorrent, Nicotine, irc and Pidgin, xmms and VLC also playing..And opera. And some other prgs :)

How are you guys all getting a process count. Nathangrubb, it looks like you counted from system monitor. Some of you from 'top', and some from conky. They all seem to report differently, except for the number of 'running' processes, why is that?

I'm running 29-48 processes and my 2.8GHz/2GBRAM machine is as slow as Vermont maple syrup. I constatnly try to remove unwanted programs but, to no avail :mad:
