With a sane configuration KDE SC 4 is not heavy. On my 32-bit Slackware
13.1, I had 200M used by the entire system. After firing up KDE4 from
another console with another user on another X server, I had 340M used,
still by the entire system. The Raspberry Pi having a good GPU and 256M
of RAM, I think KDE SC 4 can run without problem on it.
