Hmm.  Interesting.  I have been running SUSE with GNOME desktop on two
x86_64 boxes since version 9.3 and my GNOME is not hogging my system.

Mono do that from time to time, but I disable Beagle (mono does the
same thing on 32-bit machines too).  This is a problem with Beagle,
not GNOME.  If you used Beagle under KDE, or Xfce, or FWVM, then you
would end up with the same problem.

This being true, do you really think they will discontinue KDE and
commit "financial suicide"

What do you mean with a U-Turn?  Do you mean they should focus more on
getting GNOME better supported?  (I would like that)
