Mine idles most of the time, no CPU is used. My computer is running for ~6h 
now, dbus-daemon used less than 1.5s CPU time.

Strange. Mine uses only ~20MB.

I have only 4GB of memory, run kde4, swap is not used at all most of the time. 
There are still ~512MB free with ~1,3GB cached currently.
I do have programs running :) firefox with some tabs, kdevelop with a project 
(~100.000 LOC), kmail, LibreOffice and 3 konsoles, each with some tabs open.
I know, I am of no help at all, but I really wonder, why your numbers differ so 
significantly from mine.
