If you use the GNOME desktop then yes, I suppose that using GNOME
Terminal instead of Konsole will save you some memory.

I've seent his problem.  The cause was my $PS1 setting in my ~/.bashrc
file: I had some xterm escape sequences to set the window title.  I
removed the escapes from $PS1 and instead added a $PROMPT_COMMAND to
do the same thing (copy & paste from /etc/skel.bashrc), and the irritating
cursor jumping disappeared.
