I've got 2x 256 Mo. But even with 512 Mo the GUI goes slow sometimes.

Then I invoke qps to look in there. (Universe).
I can see several applications/tools with several processes and children 
processes started.
I don't know which are absolutely necessary and which are not, 
sometimes, and doubt about some of them.

So I go to terminal after closing all applications running, and I kill 
all processes possible with a 'kill -9 -1'
Then I go back to the login interface and that's it. The GUI becomes as 
before. It does not happen too often but when it starts ...  :/

I might test the memory soon again, I even had some slow processes under 
Ion3 these days, in fact.
