It's too early to talk about e17, I've been very confused about e17 
binary file format, but it starts to be usuable with graphical front-end 
to edit everything. But please don't forget it's still experimental, you 
can't say today, ardour2 is a bunch of bug and memory leaks, it's out of 
context.
e17 is like ardour2 you can see that it will be a very good app in the 
future.

About the mem usage you was not lucky, e17 consumes 22m with latest e17 
source code (and I can't remember of such mem usage in the past).

e17 is light, *smooth* and very responsive, IMHO look&*feel* is very 
important, e17 is very good at perf VS. feel.

It's just a matter of taste here but please don't argue with perf 
argument with e17.
