KDE and bloat

KDE developers are very much aware of this and continue to work on making KDE use as few ressources as possible

I'm aware of this - I seem to remember that when KDE2 was released, the application startup was supposed to be faster in KDE2 than KDE1. Unfortunately my experience showed that KDE2 was slower than KDE1 because of the memory usage. I think this is really a feature issue: I use Opera and Firefox on both Linux and Windows and the Windows versions didn't seem to be faster.

Bye,NAR
