I completely agree with Matthew. I have an Asus EeePC. It has 2 gig memory and 
a 64 gig SSD running Kubuntu 12.04/32 bit. I do appreciate the work the devs 
do, but they need to keep K. I. S S. in mind.

The "everyone owns a mega computer so resources dont matter" is a silly

I have 128 gig of ram on 2 of my machines so why should I suffer and have 
programs only use 8 because you don't? Its a silly argument and a bad way to 
go. Programs should be efficient, that doesn't mean minimal it just means 
efficient.

That's not really very much, when you consider that my PC has 8 GB RAM. Modern PCs are stuffed to the gills with RAM, why not take advantage of it?

We no longer live in the era when CPU cycles and memory bits were to be treated like diamonds. You paid for all that horsepower -- put it to use. 
No, but having had problems with the complexity and overhead that akonadi brings, I would rather do without it.   It does not play nicely.
