The swap usage dropped halfway, from 1 GB to 0.5 GB. Some memory also got released. This is the new top output: top - 21:27:10 up 12 days, 4:21, 4 users, load average: 0.21, 0.25, 0.31 Tasks: 184 total, 1 running, 183 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 12.7%us, 11.9%sy, 0.0%ni, 75.2%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.2%si, 0.0%st Mem: 2048088k total, 1845144k used, 202944k free, 33668k buffers Swap: 4192956k total, 537340k used, 3655616k free, 1093460k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 15276 vmarko 20 0 624m 81m 23m S 0.0 4.1 0:18.03 okular 1739 root 20 0 472m 77m 25m S 20.9 3.9 4700:18 X 2021 vmarko 20 0 1396m 69m 9760 S 5.3 3.5 910:19.04 ktorrent 9797 vmarko 20 0 810m 59m 21m S 0.0 3.0 0:51.88 kmail 15242 vmarko 20 0 543m 58m 23m S 0.0 2.9 0:04.16 kile 2222 vmarko 20 0 727m 24m 12m S 0.0 1.2 13:53.29 cairo-dock 1998 vmarko 20 0 938m 22m 10m S 5.0 1.1 958:46.41 plasma-desktop 15152 vmarko 20 0 676m 21m 13m S 0.0 1.1 0:14.63 kde4-window-dec 15170 vmarko 20 0 420m 19m 12m S 0.7 1.0 0:03.23 konsole 2053 vmarko 9 -11 565m 18m 16m S 6.0 0.9 297:56.92 pulseaudio 2022 vmarko 20 0 420m 11m 7744 S 0.0 0.6 0:02.00 fusion-icon 2346 vmarko 20 0 188m 9.9m 3024 S 1.7 0.5 198:32.22 compiz 15525 vmarko 20 0 271m 8512 6000 S 0.0 0.4 0:00.07 kio_http The system regained some responsiveness, but still appears mainly sluggish. The problem isn't the actual load, but the fact that memory consumption increases without bound over time. I'll try to use Konqueror for a day instead of Firefox, and I'll try to refrain from keeping skype and emerald running. If the swap usage keeps increasing, the culprit is somewhere else... I'll wait and see. Best, :-) Marko _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
