<div class="gmail_quote">2010/1/15 Tomas Gustavsson <<a href="mailto:tomplast@gmail.com">tomplast@gmail.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Is it just me or is the memory usage of Kubuntu 10.04 unreasonable high? I know that it's still in the alpha stages but it seems a little too high here. If I disregard Konqueror from the total memory usage it's still around 750 MiB (stabilised to 720 after 10 mins or so), out of 2.9GiB according to ksysguard. I know that KDE may be more for "power users" then GNOME is, but still something must be wrong if Kubuntu draws almost 3 times the memory compared to Ubuntu. Or is it that KDE somehow reserves more memory then GNOME and doesn't actually uses 750MiB of my memory? There's no doubt in my mind that Kubuntu is becoming a better every day, but there must be a healthy balance between the resource usage and the functionalities. </blockquote></div> I just want to clarify a few things, I installed Kubuntu 10.04 (Alpha 2) just an hour ago or so. I haven't installed any extra software or activated any 3d drivers or desktop effects. More or less an untouched installation.
