freebsd stable - Jan 2006 - KDE 3.5.0 seems much chubbier than 3.4.2

I just updated to KDE 3.5.0 and it seems considerably more memory hungry that 
3.4.2, for example..

  PID USERNAME   THR PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU COMMAND
 1126 darius       5  20    0   213M 50816K kserel  13:09  0.73% amarokapp
 1119 darius       3  20    0   260M 67180K kserel  40:04  0.00% kdeinit
 1153 darius       3  20    0   137M 51080K kserel  17:08  0.00% kmail
 1118 darius       3  20    0   119M  7324K kserel   6:03  0.00% kopete
 1050 darius       1  96    0 77228K 10140K select   3:37  0.00% kdeinit
 1090 darius       1  96    0 98476K 12680K select   1:20  0.00% kdeinit
 1110 darius       1  96    0 73292K  5136K select   1:14  0.00% kdeinit
 1089 darius       1  96    0 91168K  6084K select   0:47  0.00% kdeinit
 1082 darius       1  96    0   122M  7268K select   0:40  0.00% kdeinit

No wonder my system is thrashing :)

Does anyone know why 3.5.0 seems to be using so much more memory?

I did recently update to the latest -current (ie new malloc implementation) 
but the the sluggish behaviour was still present prior to that (although 
maybe not as bad)

I have..

Not to suggest you're imagining things, but someone else just posted on
freebsd-current@ that other applications show greatly increased memory
usage as well, so it probably is a -current specific problem after all.
