( and gawd i was so used to see the memory gauge at about 95% in a KDE session... fluxbox is stunning in that aspect). my machine is not only faster, but more stable. Oh, by the way, i've upgraded to a newer build now, but with the 3.0.0.0.0-released-30-seconds-ago KDE sometimes the aRTs sound server started on it's own, unpredictably, leaving all my multimedia apps kinda confused... so, no. you are not alone.
