Hi list! |

I have a bit of a problem. I'm on KDE-4.4.5 and it eats memory for |
| 4 |
breakfast. Directly after booting, everything is okay but the usage |
| 5 |
grows significantly. I wonder whether this is expected behavior. |

The following statistics have been taken after 8 days of uptime during |
| 8 |
which the system was on standby most of the time during work days and at |
| 9 |
night. |

A desktop machine that has 4GB RAM and still needs to swap?! |

Okay, I'm used to Firefox taking much memory. I'm okay with that since |
| 42 |
it's the most heavily used application currently running. But why does |
| 43 |
Akregator need that much memory? It doesn't even have any tabs open at |
| 44 |
the moment and is just running minimized in the background. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Virtuoso looks like an optional Soprano dependency which in turn is |
| 47 |
needed for Nepomuk. Are the default use flags for dev-libs/soprano |
| 48 |
suboptimal? What happens if I choose other flags for Soprano? |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
The rest of the list is a bit suspicious, as well. Especially DBus and |
| 51 |
Kopete look like they live way beyond their means (or my means ;) ). |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Do other users experience the same? |

Thanks in advance! |
