[Bug 343714] Re: Kubuntu Jaunty KDE 4.2 very high memory usage

[Frank Zimmerman]

I just noticed a similar problem.  I just upgraded this computer (2 gb
RAM) to Jaunty last night (but I installed Ubuntu, not Kubuntu).  Now,
after about 6 hours of use my System Monitor shows 38% memory in use by
programs and 61% in use as cache.  We also have Ubuntu 9.04 on a Netbook
with 1.5gb of RAM, and it doesn't seem to have the same problem,
although it is not used heavily (mostly just a program or two open at a
time).  I just ran a test on another computer we have in the house with
2gb RAM and Jaunty recently installed.  It also shows the cache memory
climbing with each application opened, especially KDE apps, although I
only tested it for a while, and did not get it over about 50% combined
program RAM and Cache RAM.  My computer seems worse, but I'm using the
Kontact suite and a number of other KDE programs regularly.  This
problem did not exist in Ubuntu 8.10.  There is definitely something
going wrong here, but I can't pinpoint it.  I tried killing processes,
but couldn't get the cache ram to go down.
