I'd be very interested if someone repeated those stats, but memory consumption is <b>tough</b> to measure right, and I've got a feeling that there is a lot of optimisation possible in KDE 4.

Can you also give some numbers there? Maybe: after startup, web-browsing with 10 pages, office suite... How about the memory consumption of these different desktops?

These could be avoided, but I'm not sure I listed all changes that need to be done ... I'd be glad to help with this investigation!
