SUMMARY Since I updated to Plasma 5.27.8, the /usr/bin/palsmashell --no-respawn claims a huge amount of RAM (up to 2/3rd of system RAM Background: I have a 32 GB Ram amd G5700 System. I'm working (at this time) mostly with Obsidian.md, which, as an Electron-App itself uses lots of ressources (unfortunately). But since installing KDE Plasma 5.27.8 I experience an immense lagginess. I first thought, that this was a problem with Obsidian.md, but than I noticed, that the RAM usage stays the same even without Obsidian running. This persists and gets even worse after standby (it acutally stands - without little temporal changes - at 20.2 GB. Only way to fix it (temporarily): restart system. htop reports 10.7G VIRT, 833M RES, 290MSHR for plasmashell -- no-respawn (about 30 processes) 5329MB VIRT, 71936M RES, 55040 SHR for QtWebEngineProcess (about 10 processes) KDE Systemmonitor reads about 630 MiB RAM usage for plasmashell ... I don't understand what's going on here, I'm not a IT-Systemsengineer, but this does not seem right! STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. work with some heavy load productive systems 2. Go to standby mode 3. reactivate system ... OBSERVED RESULT severe lagginess of productive programs EXPECTED RESULT Swift working of the system, as it was until 5.27.7 ... SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux: 6.5.3-1-default (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.110.0 Qt Version: 5.15.10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION By the way: why is it necessary, that the calendar reminder of Akonadi constantly uses more than 930 MiB of Ram in idle ???
Sorry we were not able to get to this yet. Is it still happening in a recent version of Plasma, like 6.2.5 or later?
