Dolphin using huge amounts of memory

[Lester M. Petrie Jr.]

I have been using Krusader because I have been unable to get Dolphin to access 
some directories that are NFS mounted, while Krusader quite happily traverses 
them. But this morning I decided to try Dolphin again, as I like some of its 
interface better.  I would be accessing files from Dolphin, when it would just 
disappear.  This happened a couple of times, and I was ready to give up, but 
decided to look at the journal to see if there was anything there giving a 
clue as to what was wrong.  I found the kernel was killing Dolphin with an OOM 
event.  Dolphin was using ~16Gig of memory both times it was killed.  What 
could it possibly be doing that takes that much memory?  Is there some 
configuration that can reduce the memory required?
