I just finished rebuilding qt-copy, kdelibs, kdebase and kdepim.  Looked like 
your patch is now in CVS, so I tried KOrganizer on a big ics file.

Loading a 2,500 item ics file now uses 16,276 kB of VmData.  Back in July, the 
same 2,500 item ics file consumed 15,720 kB of VmData.  So, unless I'm making 
some mistake in calculating the memory used, things are going in the wrong 
direction.

In one line, here's how I get the VmData used:

cat /proc/`ps ax | grep '[0-9] korganizer$' | cut -d ' ' -f 1`/status \
| grep VmData

The test script creates an ics file with 2,500 events, each event with one 
alarm.  Here's a link to the original script (which creates 168 total 
events):

I'm happy to continue testing patches ...

Regards,

Mark
