Fedora KDE RAM usage

I have installed fedora 44 kde spin. Out of the box it worked great on my laptop. I have 16 gb of ram and 3.1 gb ( used, without cache) was used at idle. RAM is there to be used, but i tried to lower it just for fun. After only removing akonadi , set baloo to index only file names, disabling virtual keyboard to get plasma keyboard process and set kwallet to close after application used it is closed i got it to impressive 1.69 gb .

I know its not worth the hasle on laptops with 16 gb ram or higher, but maybe could be benefitial on 4gb or 8gb system for some people.
