KDE 3 Footprint

[Jannik Lindquist]

Hello,

I am on a Toshiba Laptop - 475 Mhz and 160 MB. I switched from Windows 
XP to Linux with KDE 3.0 a mont ago - and have fought a tough battle 
trying to make KDE run without draining my systemressources. Before I 
stripped all fancy graphics from KDE, I had at least one freeze a day 
and I still see a lot of disturbed graphics. Big apps renowned for their 
demands on systemressources - such as OpenOffice and Mozilla - runs 
beautifully on my system - whereas Konqueror and KMail running together 
are almost sure to cause some kind of problem.
