Desktop memory usage

Hi

Just one question: What makes you think that running applets
out of process 
uses any significant amount of memory extra? 

It is one of your "conclusions", but I see no
evidence for it, and KDE also 
runs IO-slaves out-of-process.

 My measurements. Mostly past ones, that is, but it was
visible even in this 
one in Exmap. E.g. Klipper can be both an applet and a
systray app and the 
latter is measurably more heavy.

 It's not processes per se that are heavy, it's all the
setup they do when 
they're full KDE apps (which e.g. systray apps are). KIO
slaves do much 
smaller setup (no X connection, no fonts, no UI styles, ...)
and are 
therefore lighter.
