9 ..and two huge database servers which lots of disk and ram space and a
10 huge waste of compile time (not so much for KDE but more for the
11 databases), opening to all sort of possible attacks by bugs in these
12 databases whose servers need to be running etc.

14 I doubt that if you count these servers the difference is only 10 megs.
15 And on my machines with 512 MB RAM also losing 10 megs of RAM for
16 nothing (well - for increasing the attack vector) is an issue.
