Ah, but I am. Akonadi still spawns all that crap in the background:

This from running "Kmail" from the "K" menu. Now, how is that NOT the same 
as essentially running Kontact? It's not that I can't afford the CPU/Memory 
utilization (I can -- the machine is more than powerful enough) it's that I 
don't *want* all that crap, even running in the background. I am having 
heat problems and I'm doing all I can to run as little as I absolutely have 
to and all these extra processes aren't helping!
