because you are only seeing you desktop
the developers seems too

and that is why "yum" is consuming soo much RAM that on a virtual machine
with 512 MB RAM the kernel-OOM-killer is killing yum sometimes, and hey
we are speaking abut a terminal-app

there wents something TERRIBLE wrong in the linux world not only on fedora
side, they all starting to braindead waste ressources - the result is that
modenr hardware is not really fast as ten years ago if you looking
at the perfomrance the user gets out of it
