Hello,

I'm new to LiteStep (haven't installed it yet actually) so I was wondering, how much "resource hungry" is LiteStep? Is it ligher or heavier than the explorer shell?

Thanks;

It depends on the modules you load. You can easily make a theme that takes up more resources than Explorer, or you can make a theme that needs less resources. It's up to you. :)

My Litestep uses about 3 MB at start up and a aboslut max of 15 Mb but it is rare. It usually takes between 7 and 10 Mb....

I think you shouldn't take care about litestep memory use. Generally, it'll always take less than explorer as shell (even with huge themes full of eye-candy).
But if you use modules with memory leaks, memory usage can grow up to the max... but there's other annoyances that warn you to not use these modules...
