It's the database backend for Nepomuk, and i assume that it does the
initial indexing of your /home. It does not leak memory, and it's not really
needed,
you might want to disable Nepomuk/Strigi altogether.

well, i was thinking if it's here by default, there must be a good reason...

but imho it takes way too much resources.

Nepomuk (& so virtuoso) is only required by a few packages (like kmail or 
bangarang for example), so you can of course remove/disable it if you don't 
want to use it.

required by kmail?

i use kmail...

if this is somekind of desktop search stuff, i'd like to disable it while still 
having kmail working...

reply said it was needed for kmail. can i really disable this and still have 
functional kmail?

and how? iirc there was suddenly this icon about desktop search? I assume 
that's it? i removed the applet, but i guess it didn't stop. how can i stop 
this permanently? without also disabling kmail to work?

That was mikala's reply. Maybe you should ask him, i'm not really helpful
because i don't use either one of kmail, akonadi, nepomuk or strigi.
You should be able to disable strigi (index & search daemon) and the indexing
of nepomuk, but i'm not sure about nepomuk itself. From what i've read,
it can't be completely disabled as since recently many kde features
depend on it.

You still might want to look at f.ex.
http://thomasmcguire.wordpress.com/2009/10/03/akonadi-nepomuk-and-strigi-explained/
for what's what of Soprano, Virtuoso, Nepomuk, Strigi and Akonadi.

You can disable it, you'll miss (at least from the shiny yellow banner you're 
getting in kmail) autocompletion for contact, lists support & cryptographic 
options per user but maybe it's more than that i don't know.

You can use systemsettings to configure/(dis)enable the desktop search function 
(also know as nepomuk :p ).

hmm, i like these functions. this is why i asked, because i like these
functions, but still, even when it's been configured by default as using
50MB, it's over 200MB, and using all these resources.

is this fixable? looking at those bug reports, it looks like this has been
going on for a while now...

disabling this desktop search does not have effect on the kmail?

i would guess not from how you put it, but i'm just asking for
confirmation here :-)

If you disable desktop search it won't work in kmail.
Also i'm not sure if it's fixed but if i'm not wrong the « disable kmail index 
» functionnality does not work (even if it's supposed to be disable it's going 
to work...)
