you know - I don't give a rat's ass about 'pig' or not, because: I have enough ram. Ram is cheap. 16gb of DDR 1600 ECC costs what? 160€? Cheap. zfs eats so much, the amount KDE is using is negligible. At the moment I run one firefox instance with 29 flash heavy windows 3 instances of konqueror with douzends of tabs. thunderbird. two hungry java apps. assorted crap. 11GB used. But the big 'offender' seems to be: zfs.
