gettys

[Chris Neary]

If by PTS you mean 'fake' terminals run on terminal emulator applications
such as xterm, gnome-terminal, rxvt, etc, then the answer for those alone
must be: _loads_ (where 'loads' is an indeterminate number governed by the
size of the current size of the constantly, infinitely expanding universe
multiplied by twelvety-one) as I've run terminal emulators in the past on
multiple workspaces with lots of tabs (lots = loads^2)!

No exaggeration. Honest!

Tends to slow down the already slow RAM-beast that is gnome-terminal though.
