Kubuntu low fat settings

UPDATE:
Kubuntu low fat settings package was removed from Kubuntu 13.10. More info here.

If you are using Kubuntu, you might be interested to do:

vic@wic:~$ sudo apt-get install kubuntu-low-fat-settings

I do this in every new Kubuntu installation.

Kubuntu 11.10 introduces Kubuntu-Low-Fat-Settings: a collection of configuration options that reduce memory usage and even speed up KDE's loading time. This will help Kubuntu run better on older, lower-end systems.

Some of the many tweaks include:

• Turning off compositing by default.
• Disabling the automatic loading of various modules, such as bluedevil, the free space notifier, some Nepomuk services, and a other components.
• Reducing the number of default Krunner plugins that are loaded automatically.
• Reducing the amount of graphical effects used in the window decoration.
• Significant reductions in memory usage (up to 32%) and the subsequent savings in KDE's loading time (up to 33%) can be had simply by installing the package kubuntu-low-fat-settings!
