Hi!

There seems to be a memory leak somewhere in konsole (or one of the
libraries it uses). Here's the «ps ux» output of an old session:

USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND

(2 windows, 5 tabs each)
guillem  11744  0.2  5.1 619656 104080 ?       Sl   Jan07 148:31 konsole
(1 window, 1 tab, after closing several tabs on the old session)
guillem  11744  0.2  4.9 606912 99868 ?        Sl   Jan07 148:34 konsole

And here's a brand new session I just started right now:

(2 windows, 5 tabs each)
guillem   6147  0.8  1.7 450612 35208 ?        Rl   15:48   0:01 konsole


Some notes, I don't have unlimited scrollback enabled; and when I have
the scrollback buffer full for most tabs, the RSS increases just few
MiB (around 1 per tab), which get recovered a bit when I use the «Clear
Scrollback» option. I'm also not using the whole KDE environment, I'm
using just awesome as WM.

Thanks,
Guillem

This is a really old bug, but I'm not sure if this is really a bug. Maybe 100M was too much when reported, but I'm seeing similar memory values for some currently running konsole (4 tabs): 
maxy     21986  0.3  0.6 618052 99168 ?        Sl   Mar25  11:03 /usr/bin/konsole
While a freshly started konsole:
maxy     17704  3.7  0.3 573560 64620 ?        Sl   15:43   0:00 /usr/bin/konsole --separate
And I'm seeing similar memory usages from gnome-terminal and terminator (just to test some other non "lightweight" terminal emulator). So, it doesn't feel as leak.
I'll close the issue, if you still see a leak, please reopen with more information to dig into. 

Happy hacking,
