Hello,
tried the fedora-kde list first but got no response.
whenever I look at the processes table I see that kglobalaccel is taking about
125 MB of memory, that is a lot.
I admit that I have lot's of shortcuts and gestures, but still, is that number
normal?
Thanks in advance,
YB.

I really like all the gestures and am not going to give that up.
this is (for me) the greatest advantage of KDE over others.
What I do want is to know if the mount of memory being used in my installation
is normal or not.
since you are not using KDE I would like someone else to answer that.
Thanks,
YB.

WoW, sounds to me way too much for such a simple task, although I have
to add that KDE4's promise "thanks to cleanup and modularization it
will use less resources" is the most broken promise ^^
You might have a look at bugs.kde.org and file an appropriate entry if
you don't find one.
Another good idea if you can invest some time is to use valgrind to
find out where all that memory is spentö

All KDE and GTK UI's are memory hogs AFAIAC.
There is no way around it. It is what it is.
When you have such multilayer applications, you
end up having to link to many libs
with funcs that malloc memory (some more than others)
to do their work, you end up with a high mem usage.

As far as I can understand kglobalaccel is responsible for all the global
shortcuts and mouse gestures in KDE.

If you do not absolutely need those shortcuts and gestures,
then you might want to disable kglobalaccel (click
System-Administration->Services)
and disable kglobalaccel.
OK, so when you do top,
how much of swap is being utilised?
If only a small amount, then you have to live with it.
It is not impacting you very much.
If a large amount, you may want to look into adding
ram. Ram is cheap nowadays.
Cheers,
JD

Determining how much memory is used by a single PID is tricky. In the
case of KDE, which has a lot of shared code, it's even trickier. Much

Yehiel, what is the RSS (Resident Set Size) for kglobalaccel ?
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND

OK, I compared it to the RSS of Firefox, with 6 windows, and average
of 4 tabs per window. The RSS for firefox is 183m which is very
reasonable.
I do not know what kglobalaccel does, and it has no man page, and I do not
run it.

What is your total physical ram and how much swap space do you have?
ram 1 GM, swap 2 GB.
If you absolutely must have this app running, I think you will have
accept
it's mem usage as normal.

Yehiel, what is the RSS (Resident Set Size) for kglobalaccel ?
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
2480 djyb 20 0 183m 127m 4048 S 0.0 12.7 0:49.64 kglobalaccel
according to top, 127m, I guess that 127MB

Determining how much memory is used by a single PID is tricky. In the
case of KDE, which has a lot of shared code, it's even trickier. Much
of the memory footprint seen in ps might be in libraries shared by
other KDE apps on the system.
