" loading via usb as suggested by tony37 gives me 655Mb which is pretty decent."
That's still very high. My system uses only 436MB of RAM on bootup, which is about the same on every distro with Plasma 5 that I've ever tested.

So everybody has his truth ;-)Use your xxxxxxx RAM: The third change is caching everything, I don't care about your RAM, I will use even 8GB of your RAM if this provides me a faster way to find your files, unused RAM is wasted RAM, even truer the more time passes.
