Re: Konqueror running out of memory

[Tim Müller <tim-mailinglists@zen.co.uk>]

Hi,

I've come across the problem described by some people on this list on May 6th 
2003 as well: konqueror as browser suddenly started to eat up incredible 
amounts of memory (1024MB after 1-3 secs), usually right away when started, 
sometimes only after clicking on a link if the first page comes up. 

I seem to have fixed the problem on my system (for now at least) by deleting 
three files in ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/:

~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/bookmarks.xml.tbcache
~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/faviconrc
~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/konq_history

The bookmarks.xml.tbcache file was 0-size in my case (while the bookmarks.xml 
file is ca. 65k).

I don't know which of those was responsible for the hick-up, but it all works 
now.

I hope this info might be useful for others who encounter the same problem.

Cheers
-Tim
