If you have a lot of terminals, a tabbed or split-screen terminal app, like Konsole or Terminator is probably more efficient.
Disagreed, tiling window managers are entirely designed for tiling stuff. They tend to be _much_ better at it than stuff like screen and Terminator. I'm pretty confident in this assessment because I used screen for quite a while before I got into tiling. It's just not the same. Also, it's not even necessarily better on ram. If you're using a smart terminal like urxvt or XFCE Terminal, they can run in a shared mode where running a ton of terminals doesn't really skyrocket your ram (unlike gnome-terminal for example). -AT
