Did a 'top' like you said and discovered that the culprit process was
mhonarc. Weird. I'm quite sure I didn't start it. It was hogging 80% of
resident memory. The parent process was either kio_file or kio_fulltext,
children of kdeinit. Really weird.
Did a quick Google search on what mhonarc does, and immediately killed
it upon realizing it's not vital. That solved it.
Any idea on what may have triggered it?
Thanks for pointing me to 'top' by the way. :)
