Before 0.22

As reported by top (in kilobytes):

Graphics/Font engine + Icon helper Core run Each fork Total for 3 forks Notes
cairo/pango 11,500 6,880 32,140
xlib/xft + imlib2 (bitstream-vera-sans) 7,068 3,408 17,292
xlib/xft + gdkpixbuf (bitstream-vera-sans) 7,340 3,396 8,528 Looks ugly

Starting with 0.22 (so far, theoretical)

Superkb 0.22 uses execvp() instead of system() to launch KEY COMMANDs, so we simply remove the "per fork" information.
