That's an incorrect conclusion. Your premise is correct: the process that launches them links to many KDE libraries. But since that launch is a regular fork() + exec(), the premise is irrelevant. The KDE libraries will be loaded again, relocated and initialised, before the ioslave code is run. A quick test here shows kdeinit and one ioslave (file.so, that was already running) are sharing 2380 kB between them. The ioslave has a total of 548 kB of additional private memory that isn't shared with anything else in the system. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago (AT) macieira.info - thiago (AT) kde.org Software Architect - Intel System Software Products
