tmux and screen's memory footprints at startup are nearly identical
on my system, and a screen session that has been running for two months
has leaked very little - Little enough so that it might not be leakage.
(note that this on Solaris):

  vsz rss        time
 2652 1792       00:31 screen
 9656 1424 59-19:35:55 screen

Furthermore, based on this discussion:

 http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/549/tmux-vs-gnu-screen

and this discussion:

 http://superuser.com/questions/236158/tmux-vs-screen/

I'm not convinced that tmux is "better", but I am certainly going
to give it a try.
