13 kdeinit processes

anyone know why starting kde gives me 13 kdeinit processes? i'm running kde 3.1.4 on debian unstable, and each of those processes takes up anywhere from 3% to 6% of my computer's memory, and i'm sick of it.

Why ? Don't you think they use shared memory ?

kdeinit is some kind of starter process.

It reduces application startuptime by avoiding some linker issues.

if you do a process listing, for example with ps on commandline, you will see the application name after kdeinit.
Ksysguard (for example by CTRL+ESC) gives you the "real" names directly.
