Massif can tell us more about this:

- there are about eight single entries resulting from marble, summing to 60 
MB. This is quite a lot obviously. It may be related to the fact that we use 
multiple marble instances (this is GSoc branch), I dont know if Marble is 
ready to share internal memory between instances
- there are 2*30 MB due to the ICC profiles on my system. I may have installed 
a lot of them. And it's a bug that they are kept loaded, I meant to drop this 
memory but somehow it does not work
- roughly 10 MB in khtml / kjs. This may be the welcome screen, or 
libkmap/Google Maps backend
- 3 MB for the KCompletion in tree view search lines. Potential for sharing.
- 4 MB from libxine. The future is VLC Phonon backend anyway.
- 41 MB below the threshold
