I can not really comment on this, as these figures really depend on the computer you use. Could you please try KGet from trunk (what is to become KDE 4.4) or wait for the first KDE 4.4 Betas/RCs and try it with those to see if the problem remains?
Axel, did you try kget recently from one of the KDE 4.4 Beta? And if not, could you?
