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.
