Little update.  This problem must have been caused by something plasma
related.  KDE sent a announcement that a new plasma update was
available.  It took a day or two to hit the tree but I noticed last
night it was available.  I usually do my updates on Sunday evening but
did them last night because of this problem.  I did the build in my
chroot overnight and installed on the live system early this morning. 
So far, it is using memory like it used to.  This is what ps shows for
it, easiest command I know to show it.

The first one was ran shortly after I got logged in and the second was
ran just a few minutes ago, several hours later.  Usually by this time
it would be up around 2% or more.  It's seems to be rising but it is
much slower.  It could just be normal that it fluctuates a bit too. 

I guess the bug was caught and fixed.  Thanks to all that read and
Michael for trying to help.
