After 26 days of uptime, its total CPU time is 1380 minutes, Followed by udisks-daemon with 990 minutes, and then mysqld with 25 minutes. > > And > > this morning, it was using about 750M of memory.

Right now I have three dbus-daemon processes (one owned by messagebus, two owned by my user), with a total of 4.5M only. The excessive usage of 750M (I noticed this for the first time) probably was a memory leak. Like with KWin, where it always happens after some days of being logged in. > > But I think the problem is on my side, I run KDE4 with only 8G of > > memory, no wonder I need 1.7G of swap right now. > > > > I have only 4GB of memory, run kde4, swap is not used at all most of the > time.

I run some more applications. 9 Konsole tabs, two Dolphins, a Konqueror as file manager, Amarok, TV-Browser, Kontact, Chromium with 15 tabs, KMyMoney. That's what comes up after login, after a while of being logged in more stuff is running. Yesterday I had a Windows running in vmplayer, that may use 512M. Right now, 4.7G of memory is needed (free -m, -/+ buffers/cache entry). [Later] Whoops, forgot to actually send this mail. Ten hours later I have another dbus-daemon process, owned by root, but memory their usage is the same. 5250M of RAM are needed now altogether. Wonko
