Howdy, |

I did a upgrade recently and after that, plasmashell is consuming a huge |
| 4 |
amount of memory. I noticed it at one point and it was taking about |
| 5 |
8GBs. I killed it and restarted but it seems to keep happening after a |
| 6 |
few hours. After I took a nap, I nudged the monitor back to the on |
| 7 |
state only to notice it had eaten so much memory that the system killed |
| 8 |
plasmashell and I had to restart it then. It also made other programs |
| 9 |
go to swap since it was full as well. Glad the system dealt with it |
| 10 |
instead of just crashing the whole thing. |

After I restart it, it goes back to normal, a few hundred megabytes, but |
| 13 |
slowly starts increasing again. It gets old having to either logout or |
| 14 |
restart the thing. |

Has anyone else noticed this happening on their systems? If not, I may |
| 17 |
rename .kde4 and see if that helps. Maybe a bad or outdated config. |

It seems it was a Gentoo upgrade based on the -r1. |
