1 Hi,
2
3 I have noticed this for a while but can't figure it out. After I have
4 been logged into KDE for a long while, artsd starts using a LOT of
5 memory. Keep in mine this rig has 1GB or ram if you go by the
6 percentage. This is from top:

22 Why is it using so much memory? Is this a bug with KDE 3.5 and I need
23 to report it? Any ideas at all. Come on Holly, you have to know
24 something about this. LOL

26 Oh, I can log out and back in, it's back to normal. I hate logging out
27 almost as much as I hate to reboot. I like my slideshow OK. o_O

37 I have four rigs:
38
39 1: Home built; Abit NF7 ver 2.0 w/ AMD 2500+ CPU, 1GB of ram and right now two 80GB hard drives. Named Smoker
40 2: Home built; Iwill KK266-R w/ AMD 1GHz CPU, 256MBs of ram and a 4GB drive. Named Swifty
41 3: Home built; Gigabyte GA-71XE4 w/ 800MHz CPU, 224MBs of ram and a 2.5GB drive. Named Pokey
42 4: Compaq Proliant 6000 Server w/ Quad 200MHz CPUs, 128MBs of ram and a 4.3GB SCSI drive. Named Putput

44 All run Gentoo Linux, all run folding. #1 is my desktop, 2, 3, and 4 are set up as servers.
