24 recruit Optimization Guide to accelerate your Kubuntu

Let your kubuntu/kde system take up less memory and run faster. 2g+ memory can be ignored. Usually after this, the extreme point of about 170MB of memory, is usually about 300MB memory. One of the many development goals of the KDE 4 series is the ability to run smoothly on computers with 256MB of memory. (KDE moment-in work on Consolidator whit 256 MB ram+)

With the latest version of KDE4

The newer the better, including the Kubuntu version.

Do not use Plasma, control style, window decoration themes based on SVG images
