KDE 3.5.0 seems much chubbier than 3.4.2

I just updated to KDE 3.5.0 and it seems considerably more memory hungry that
3.4.2, for example..

PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU COMMAND
1126 darius 5 20 0 213M 50816K kserel 13:09 0.73% amarokapp

1089 darius 1 96 0 91168K 6084K select 0:47 0.00% kdeinit
1082 darius 1 96 0 122M 7268K select 0:40 0.00% kdeinit

No wonder my system is thrashing :)

Does anyone know why 3.5.0 seems to be using so much more memory?

I did recently update to the latest -current (ie new malloc implementation)
but the the sluggish behaviour was still present prior to that (although
maybe not as bad)

I have..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 2 Oct 8 22:01 /etc/malloc.conf -> aj
