This is not a problem as far as I know. These kdeinit processes is the kde-developers "speed hack". The virtual table support with either gcc or the runtime linker [ld] is bad. [I forget which one is so offensively slow]. Anyway every KDE process is a forked copy of kdeinit which then immediately exec's some other command. I forget the argument for why this is faster but it certainly seems true on my system. If there is another problem with X 4.0.2 specifically and kdeinit processes being large I don't know anything about it. > > Please cc me as I'm not -questions. done > > regards, > jacques > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
