Alfred's (Mac) small memory footprint is partly because it delegates file searches to Mac built-in Spotlight (afaik). On Linux that might be more difficult to do since there's no standard solution for file search, apart from perhaps `locate`, which likely barely anyone uses anyway. IIRC Ubuntu/Gnome have a GUI-oriented solution in the vein of Spotlight—possibly ‘Tracker’—but dunno how widespread it is among the distros. At the least, Gnome and KDE probably require separate codepaths.
