SUMMARY

If you use your computer for a long time, with dolphin opened, like, some days
with sleeps everyday, dolphin will take a lot of memory, like multiple GB of
ram/swap even with only one tab opened and very few files in it.
I do that for working, and I have to kill dolphin regularly, because it takes
regularly a lot of RAM.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open dolphin
2. Let it run for a long time, by working on the computer with or without using
it
3. Open ksysguard a long time later, you will see that dolphin is taking a lot
of ram, sometimes the whole memory (more than 15GB) for just one tab opened,
with nothing in it...

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin takes more and more memory over the time, until consuming all the
memory, my computer already crashed because of that after some weeks.

EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin should use a stable amount of memory, and release what it didn't use.
