My measurements. Mostly past ones, that is, but it was visible even in this
one in Exmap. E.g. Klipper can be both an applet and a systray app and the
latter is measurably more heavy.

It's not processes per se that are heavy, it's all the setup they do when
they're full KDE apps (which e.g. systray apps are). KIO slaves do much
smaller setup (no X connection, no fonts, no UI styles, ...) and are
therefore lighter.
