Hello, here plamsa use 600MB of memory, 100MB of shared. How see what use lot of memory? I'm un dual screen, 1 activities, 2 virtual desktop. Thanks to help me to inverstigate to this issue.
you should consider this problem CONFIRMED now: i can confirm similar behaviour with plasma getting up to 500+X MB total and at least 400 MB resident - i definitely feel it all the time since the machine its running on has only some 1 GB of memory. the base system is openSUSE 11.1 with the most recent updates. the used machine is i686 - using a single cpu, single core + HT. a quite similar report can be found there: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=251176
just came to the idea adding the version information of my machine: #> plasma --version Qt: 4.4.3 KDE: 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3) "release 4.11.1" Plasma Workspace: 0.1-SUSE
Here I have quad core + 8GB of memory. I never close my computer. I'm on linux gentoo 64Bits. Qt: 4.7.1 KDE Development Platform: 4.5.3 (KDE 4.5.3) Plasma Workspace: 0.3 Plasma can use 5GB after long time.
