Note that I don't use CentOS on my desktop; I use Mandriva 2005 (I know
it's old; eventually I'll move to something else, perhaps CentOS5).
I keep ten different screens open, and usually five or six copies of
Mozilla, and KMail with one main window and five or so individual
emails windows.
I occasionally see a spike, and when I run the desktop without rebooting
over two months or so, I sometimes even lock up and have to leave the
computer for a few hours if I want it to catch up with itself and start
running again without a restart.
But generally KDE runs very well for me:

Note this is the KDE that came with Mandriva 2005 LE.
