When you look what is really used, you look at "-/+ buffers/cache:" row. I should actually remove all programs, but console. The difference will be smaller. It is actually hard without more effort to measure exact memory usage, but even above shows that KDE4 is not a resource hog.
Why not show something like usage with KDE3 running Firefox and then KDE4 running Firefox(open to home page)? That would be a good comparision.
Factory packages compiled for openSUSE 11.0. That can be part of the problem with crashes, but I have no idea how to provide any useful bug report for desktop effects plugins. By now I have no idea what my action triggers crash, to provide at least description how to recreate crash.
I think that's the same as the KDE4 build service. If so, I already have that one added. My desktop updated to KDE 4.1 when I had to re-install Ktorrent. I haven't had time to look at it, and the machine is down right now for some work I have to do to it. I may try to add it in to this Thinkpad at some point.

Starting Firefox is a bit different, as it will load GTk libraries that it needs, so 53 MB increase. -- Regards, Rajko --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
