1 ok first of .. i dont run my comp (laptop) for that long, although i am
2 planning to start using hibernate. its usually up the whole day though.

4 secondly im on kde4.5.1 (but i dont remeber having such bad memory problems
5 with the version your running).

7 Krunner's neopomuk plugin leaks memory, everytime you search for something
8 that returns any nepomuk results, krunners memory usage jumps by ~10 mb and
9 never decreases. disable it if you have it enabled and restart it. there is a
10 bug report here https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=224287
11 maybe we should file a new one.
12
13 if you still want nepomuk, you can limit virtuoso-t's memory usage in
14 nepomuk's kcm module(last tab), it usually abides by those values, however
15 once for me it went over that and continued to grow and nepomuk became
16 unresponsive (none of the search querries worked) and i had to kill it. ive
17 tried to reproduce that bug to no awail.
18
19 i use akregator too and i dont find it such memory hog (maybe its the version i
20 use 4.4.6)

23 you could try upgrading, i think i found the newer version a bit more snapiper
24 (but thats probably psychological).

26 this is the result of free -m

31 (i thoought i needed all that swap for hibernating and thats why its so big )
