Funny thing, KDE 3.2 and 3.3 have actually been better for me than Gnome 2.6.0 
in that regard.  Maybe it's Fedora's packaging, but I think not.  While KDE 
itself may be heavier, its apps use so much of the DE's stuff that they don't 
seem to pose as much of an additional load as the more loosely coupled Gnome 
apps.  So by using KDE, Kontact, and Konqueror I actually come out ahead 
(especially memory-wise) of where I was using Gnome, Evolution, and Firefox.  
I realize Firefox isn't actually a Gnome app, but that was my usage pattern.  
Also I have a sneaking suspicion there's a memory leak in Gnome-Pilot 
somewhere, since before I started syncing I had less issues with Evolution's 
memory use.  KPilot doesn't seem to have that problem, but sadly Kontact 
grinds to a halt whenever I sync and makes me wait for it to finish before I 
can get back to work.  So something there still needs work.  Still, 3 days 
and 3 machines later I give KDE3.3 two thumbs up.
