--- Comment #7 from Chris Samuel <k...@csamuel.org> --- Using KSysGuard you can get a full breakdown of the mappings, it turns out for me I see 5GB is used mapping in my Baloo index file (which is just 420MB in size), another 2GB is anonymous mapping and then you've got 263MB for the heap.

Here's the summary from KSysGuard for plasmashell in case it is of use: Process 2344 - plasmashell Summary The process plasmashell (with pid 2344) is using approximately 458.4 MB of memory. It is using 447.9 MB privately, and a further 58.3 MB that is, or could be, shared with other programs. Dividing up the shared memory between all the processes sharing that memory we get a reduced shared memory usage of 10.5 MB. Adding that to the private usage, we get the above mentioned total memory footprint of 458.4 MB. Library Usage The memory usage of a process is found by adding up the memory usage of each of its libraries, plus the process's own heap, stack and any other mappings, plus the stack of its 24 threads.
