KDE used to be heavy on RAM and CPU and XFCE, MATE and the like filled the need for a light environment. Now I see reports that KDE has become slimmer and even lighter than its competitors, which is a bit hard to believe. Have you experienced recent KDE versions and how were they in that regard?

Interesting if it uses less ram now. Some of the programming decisions were stupid and I couldn't ever seem to set up a win-key thing properly. I'm on XFCE now and boot up to a desktop in under 200mb of RAM. Is KDE better than that now? I've only got 2GB of ram on this box so skeptical I could run it.

Interested in hearing other recent experiences.
