[lug] KDE 2.2

[Shannon Johnston]

This seems to be pretty consistant most of the time:

  PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
  971 root      14   0  105M  66M  7000 R     0.7 53.4 754:00 X

You'll notice it's been up a while.

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?
