Where do you have these numbers from? top and friends? I don't know kap...
Don't believe top and friends. They lie at you. See
http://developer.kde.org/documentation/other/shared_memory.html
The "problem" is shared memory. Shared memory is only allocated once in memory
but it is shown for every program that uses this memory. So all programs
together can take 200 MB of memory although you have only 128 MB...
