KDE 3 Footprint

A good rule of thumb. . .KDE3 basically requires the same resources as
Windows 2000.  Meaning at least 128 megs RAM (256 is better) and a 500 mhz
or better processor.  A good videocard with 32 megs RAM helps to, with all
the eye-candy ; )  Adding more RAM to your machine will help with the disk
thrashing.

I jumped to KDE 3.0.1 from KDE 2.1.2. At first sight, it performs equally
well, but as I started using it, I found a noticeable increasing in memory
consumption. As it's an old computer with little memory (64MB) it is an
issue, as it is actually trashing.

So, there is a real, important growing in requirements, there are some
important memory leaks out there (according top, Konqui eats up to 50% of
used memory, and keeps raising), or I already was too close to the
trashing theresold, and just crossed it?
