+How can I tweak WeeChat to consume less memory?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You can try following tips to consume less memory:
+
+* use latest stable version (it is supposed to have less memory leaks than
+  older versions)
+* do not load some plugins if you don't use them, for example: aspell, fifo,
+  logger, perl, python, ruby, lua, tcl, xfer (used for DCC)
+* load only scripts that you really need
+* reduce value of option 'weechat.history.max_lines' (number of lines saved in
+  memory for each buffer)
+* reduce value of option 'weechat.history.max_commands' (number of user commands
+  saved in memory)

+Comment configurer WeeChat pour consommer moins de mémoire ?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Vous pouvez essayer les astuces suivantes pour consommer moins de mémoire :
+
+* utiliser la dernière version stable (elle est supposée avoir moins de fuites
+  de mémoire que les versions plus anciennes)
+* ne pas charger les extensions si vous ne les utilisez pas, par exemple :
+  aspell, fifo, logger, perl, python, ruby, lua, tcl, xfer (utilisé pour les
+  DCC)
+* charger uniquement les scripts dont vous avez vraiment besoin
+* réduire la valeur de l'option 'weechat.history.max_lines' (nombre de lignes
+  sauvées en mémoire pour chaque tampon)
+* réduire la valeur de l'option 'weechat.history.max_commands' (nombre de
+  commandes utilisateur sauvées en mémoire)
