Well, giving it a fresh start may have made it worse. It used to go a |
| 52 |
day or so and now, I have to restart the thing every few hours. When I |
| 53 |
restart it uses about 2% of memory, maybe a little less. After just a |
| 54 |
few hours, it is already up to 7% and headed to 8%. Thing is, it seems |
| 55 |
to grow faster as it goes. Currently on: |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
plasma-workspace-5.11.0 |
| 58 |
|

If anyone runs up on this in a search, I'm not aware of a solution, yet. |
