Description Daniel 2011-01-12 19:33:29 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux

Hi,

Once my system boots up, I am using arch linux, kde 4.5.4, my memory usage is:

450 MB with akonadi enabled
230 MB with akonadi disabled (edit akonadiserverrc and write StartServer=false
)

I usually don't care a lot about memory usage of my applications, but wow!, 200
MB is too much, it is about 50% of the DE memory usage, and I guess a lot of
people don't even use akonadi applications.

Regards
Daniel

Reproducible: Always

Akonadi only starts when at least one applications asks for it (check e.g. KRunner or Plasma clock settings).
