Created attachment 101847 [details] cat /proc/`pidof plasmashell`/smaps To reproduce: - allow Konsole instances to be grouped - open 100 (or any other big number) instances of Konsole - open top or systemmonitor and sort by memory size - close all Konsole instances by closing the group - watch the memory consumption of plasmashell rise as the Konsole instances exit After repeating this a few times, I have a plasmashell instance that takes up 1.4 GB of memory. I'll attach the output of "cat /proc/`pidof plasmashell`/smaps". It shows 1 GB of memory is occupied by the heap. The strange thing is that the memory consumption rises when closing Konsole instances, not when opening them.
task manager (or libtaskmanager) issue?
The smaps logs tell me nothing and I can't reproduce this locally. When you say 100 isntances, is that 100 windows or 100 instances of konsole? does allow instances to be grouped make a difference? Do you know how to make a massif trace?
