--- Comment #1 from Prajna Sariputra <putr...@gmail.com> ---
There is actually some performance improvements on the way, which when complete
will allow images at least to not be fully stored in RAM, just the metadata and
thumbnail: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2502
In theory I guess that system could even be extended to create "thumbnails" for
long text stuff and just load that instead of the whole text and/or use some
sort of compression, but then I wonder how common it is for people to copy long
bits of text often enough for it to matter, like for reference I happen to have
a document with like 120 pages of text and about 63000 words, and that's
apparently about 700KB of data, so even if you had 100 such documents in text
form sitting in your clipboard history that's just 70MB of data. Plus, trying
to save RAM for text stuff might just slow down the search function, so it
might not even be an improvement in the end.
As for a warning about the RAM usage with larger history size limits, Konsole
already has something similar with its scrollback limit setting (in the profile
settings), so there is at least precedent for it.
