Excessive KDE mem usage
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
KDE is using excesssive amounts of memory. Currently it uses over 800 mb after
boot. Many KDE programms hover around the 80 megabytes (virtual) memory.
After increasing my swapspace by a gigabyte I was able to get through
startup, which took me 15 minutes. This might be related by the fontconfig
problems have reported, but I have not had any trouble with that so far. (I
have fontconfig 2.1.90 installed).
When everthing is done loading, the system is usable. Some programms (notably
kopete & kmail) keep slowly growing, but this seems to be due to "normal"
leaks.

The Devil came to Redmond, looking for some souls to steal,
and there he met with Billy G, who was just about to make a deal.
Said the Devil, "Hey Billy, you look bored, would you care to make a bet?"
And Billy he smiled slyly, and said "Dude, there ain't a deal that I've missed
yet."
So the Devil took his keyboard and showed Billy his new game,
Saying "I wrote this quick, in VB6, now see if you can do the same."
Billy G, he just smiled his smile, and took the keyboard away,
and said, "Devil, you're behind the times, and you clicked on the EULA,
"Now you've run Windows Update, and your soul belongs to me."
And the Devil knew he'd met his match, so he turned and tried to flee,
But Billy G was much to fast, and he caught the Devil's long black cape,
Saying, "Devil, stay and play a while, we have a whole wide world to rape."
