Nobody said exec was needed. What exec does

David's suggestion was to put exec in front of opera. Should I also put it in front of icewm and rxvt?

is terminate the process that calls it, thereby
reducing the number of processes by one. Without
the exec, you are keeping an unnecessary process
alive.

I presume this takes up more RAM. A lot more?
I am not using opera on low-RAM computers (it won't work on the 4-color laptop). Would I notice much difference with or without exec?

Cheers,
Steven
