Re: KDE 2.1 memory issue



Yes, the upgrade is on the way....
i check memory usage with :
1. the kde sysguard or process info.
2. /proc/meminfo
they both show the same results at least as to total mem usage...
the thing is that I wouldnt even check this is i didnt see some strange 
things like being unable to open new mozilla windows after 5 or 6 are open, 
or waiting for almost 10 seconds till the first browser window opens...
I've checked and I see no unneeded proccesses running (meaning its a normal 
workstation...no server proccesses running)...
The swap mem is almost never used....
Just seems slow... I really dont feel like debugging all my apps to see 
what's wrong but i may just do that... cause the problem is always with the 
startup speed, not the normal operation.
