Hmm, I am not so sure that is the case..
I definitely had performance issues though - my system was paging a *lot* more 
than it used to.

Hmm, well it seems XOrg, Amarok, Kopete, Konqueror and KMail show up as big 
users.

I have a largish MP3 collection (~7000 songs) loaded into Amarok, I have set 
the number of history items in Kopete to be 250, Konqueror has about 10 tabs 
open and KMail is setup to used cached-imap with my email accounts (162 
folders, ~10000 messages)

With phkmalloc I am seeing Xorg use 110M/80M (size/res), amarok uses 93M/73M, 
Kopete uses 82M/56M, Konqueror uses 81M/68M, and KMail uses 68M/53M.

With jemalloc I saw Xorg use 213M/50M, amarok - 213M/50M, Kopete 119M/7.3M, 
Konq - 260M/67M (guessed), and KMail - 137M/51M.
