After a relogin, this is also true here at this moment, dbus-daemon uses |
| 19 |
about 4% of one of my two cores. After 26 days of uptime, its total CPU time |
| 20 |
is 1380 minutes, Followed by udisks-daemon with 990 minutes, and then mysqld |
| 21 |
with 25 minutes. |

Right now I have three dbus-daemon processes (one owned by messagebus, two |
| 30 |
owned by my user), with a total of 4.5M only. The excessive usage of 750M (I |
| 31 |
noticed this for the first time) probably was a memory leak. Like with KWin, |
| 32 |
where it always happens after some days of being logged in. |

I run some more applications. 9 Konsole tabs, two Dolphins, a Konqueror as |
| 46 |
file manager, Amarok, TV-Browser, Kontact, Chromium with 15 tabs, KMyMoney. |
| 47 |
That's what comes up after login, after a while of being logged in more |
| 48 |
stuff is running. Yesterday I had a Windows running in vmplayer, that may |
| 49 |
use 512M. |
| 50 |
Right now, 4.7G of memory is needed (free -m, -/+ buffers/cache entry). |

Whoops, forgot to actually send this mail. Ten hours later I have another |
| 55 |
dbus-daemon process, owned by root, but memory their usage is the same. |
| 56 |
5250M of RAM are needed now altogether. |
