KDE seems to take a lot of memory.

I have a 128MB machine, it`s a pure workstation with no servers.  Mandrake
8.1, KDE 2.2.1. I have :-

kmail 1.3.1 in desktop 1
konqueror 2.2.1 in desktop 2
terminal/shell in desktop 4

Once it`s booted up and I use top, I see 120MB in use and 4.6MB swap used.

Yes, I know ram is cheap but I`m wondering why so much ram is used.

Looking at my old trusty Amiga, obviously with a full GUI, with the YAM
(mailer) plus voyager (web browser) and shell plus top, I see it using only
3.8MB and it`s running ntp in addition to comparable stuff on Mandrake e.g.
screensaver.
