Well, giving it a fresh start may have made it worse. It used to go a day or so and now, I have to restart the thing every few hours. When I restart it uses about 2% of memory, maybe a little less. After just a few hours, it is already up to 7% and headed to 8%. Thing is, it seems to grow faster as it goes. Currently on: plasma-workspace-5.11.0 If anyone runs up on this in a search, I'm not aware of a solution, yet. Dale :-) :-)
