I wondered why my Laptop got sooo sloooow... Every action (switching Virtual
Desktops, switching tabs in firefox, showing yakuake, showing popup menu...) -
then I realised this:

$ free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          3800       3151        648          0         45       2083

closing every single okular instance will free the memory. Memory usage is set
to "normal". I have 4GB of RAM (way more then the 256MB mentioned in the
settings), running intel graphics with latest driver.

This issue REALLY bugs me. It's a laptop. The HDD needs to write quite much
(swapping), so battery will get empty faster - not even talking about
performance (->lags...).

I need to switch my viewer(s) until this bug is fixed.
