Plasmoids and Power Consumption

[Steven Vollom]

I installed 16 of the system info plasmoids on my computer.  I just noticed 
that with only Kontact waiting for messages, 7111mb of memory are being 
consumed.  Is it possible that these plasmoids could be using that much RAM?

I like them, but not that much.  With 8gb of RAM, I didn't think I could use 
that much.  I have less than a gig remaining, for normal operation of the 
computer.
