Because of what does it sucks memory? It sucks (memory) if somebody
claims something that isn't true by an email sent as HTML + plain text.
There's no need to sent the same text in one mail two times, especially
when HTML is frowned upon. And now the bomb drops ...

... there's also no need to start services that are unneeded and there's
no need to use KDE4 with desktop effects. You are free to run KDE4
without 3D or sound effects, you are free to use any DE without services
that upstream or distro maintainers make a default.
2GB on a dual-core and you won't see a difference in performance when
running vim in gnome-terminal, no matter if you run it on KDE4 or
JWM.
