KDE is using 1GB of memory according to the free command. Fluxbox is using 700MB memory! I did a bunch of updates on Xubuntu 10.04 so it's sort of Xubunu 11.10 or something. I'm also running Gnome3 and KDE4, and Xfce if that matters. This is really slowing my system down. KDE is unusable and I'm having issue with Xfce (this might be due to the suddenly high usage of swap).

Why do I have such high memory usage? How can I reduce it?
