That looks bad. I suspect it's the semantic desktop thingy that's at
fault (I guess it's database and indexing service must eat tons of RAM),
since I have it disabled and this is how it looks here after 5 days uptime:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 5973 3534 2438 0 1056 1685
-/+ buffers/cache: 793 5179
Swap: 917 0 917
(The important value is "-/+ buffers/cache: 793")
This is with KDE 4.5.1 and "semantic-desktop" USE flag disabled.
