Maybe, but still you're the one who had problems even making Okular run, which isn't a problem in any KDE4 desktop.

I don't know what you are trying to imply. One thing is not related to the other, and I wasn't counting Okular in my list of KDE 4 annoyances since I don't use it (god forbid). In any case, I guess you haven't checked the Okular bugs in a while, otherwise you wouldn't be speaking like that:
Lotsa Okular crashes in the last 20 days

I don't use any DE, only applications. My problem with KDE4 apps is that I find them slower than their 3.5 counterparts. Kile, for instance, lags in my machine when I select text and scroll down (or up). Come on, it's just regular text, not a freaking pdf, it should be lightning fast.

Originally posted by kraftman View PostThose are probably graphic drivers problems. I remember when using nVidia binary blobs scrolling in QT3 applications was perfectly smooth and then there were serious problems with QT4. I don't know too much about graphic drivers, but maybe when Gallium3D will come it will be as smooth as it should. Btw. I'm using Radeon Open Source driver and scrolling in Konqueror and resizing windows (even when using compositions) is very smooth. However, I didn't tried Kile.

1xxMB on KDE 3.5.10 Debian Lenny,
4xxMB on KDE 4.3.2 Kubuntu.
Ouch.
I wish then can lower KDE 4.x memory requirement.
Btw,
I love both version. But in Visual, I prefer KDE 3.5

Originally posted by molecule-eye View PostThis is just silly. Increasingly, computer are being outfitted with more memory and certain modern desktop environments should exploit that. If you want a lightweight environment go for one that is intended to be so. KDE 4.x doesn't happen to be one of those and I don't see any reason for that to change.

Originally posted by yogi_berra View PostSo developers shouldn't focus on efficient RAM usage because there is a lot of it in new machines? Sounds like a bad excuse for shitty coding practices to me.
I think things like aggressive caching, enhanced plasma desktop functionality, etc. are all good things even though they require more base memory usage.
