[lug] KDE 2.2

[John Hernandez]

I'm running RH 7.1 with the recently released KDE 2.2 and KOffice 1.1 RPMs.  The X server has really grown large according to the SIZE field in top (code plus data plus stack space), but I don't really remember how it behaved before.  On the other hand, use of physical memory pages seems to be halfway reasonable, so I guess lots of pages are getting swapped out (I show 53M swap in use).  It's been running for 2 days now, but it rarely runs longer than that before I log out (which returns me to console login).  I haven't noticed a slowdown, but I've got ample RAM to fill.  I also recently configured the NVidia driver, which may contribute to the bloat factor.  Of the KDE processes themselves, I don't show any major hogs, with KDE being the largest at 7M SIZE / 6M RSS.  What does yours show?

  PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
 9234 me         9   0 17900  16M  9488 S     0.0  6.7   0:07 netscape-commun
