Hi list!
I have a bit of a problem. I'm on KDE-4.4.5 and it eats memory for
breakfast. Directly after booting, everything is okay but the usage
grows significantly. I wonder whether this is expected behavior.
The following statistics have been taken after 8 days of uptime during
which the system was on standby most of the time during work days and at
night.
free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3754 3588 165 0 57 258

That looks bad. I suspect it's the semantic desktop thingy that's at
fault (I guess it's database and indexing service must eat tons of RAM),
since I have it disabled and this is how it looks here after 5 days uptime:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 5973 3534 2438 0 1056 1685
-/+ buffers/cache: 793 5179
Swap: 917 0 917
(The important value is "-/+ buffers/cache: 793")
This is with KDE 4.5.1 and "semantic-desktop" USE flag disabled.
