290-128=?
That's too much ;)
I'm pretty sure that X does not use that much.
BTW: KDE3.1.1 can run fine with 128MB and I am not so sure that all the blame 
for memory hogging goes to KDE itself.

What's worse is that KDE still takes ages to start, independent on how fast 
the system is. KDM starts up fast (although it is still pretty slow), too, so 
somewhere must be a big problem in the startup routine. The whole desktop 
creation stuff simply cannot take that long, other window managers do that 
much faster, too. QT and KDE libs and all that is already loaded by KDM.
What does actually take that long? Or to be more specific: what eats up the 
most time at KDE startup?

I have enough RAM (256MB) and a decent cpu (Athlon-1.33GHz but AthlonXP 2200+ 
behaves the same).
