Are you sure? Page tables grow quite large (by 2-3 MB here when starting KDE) 
due to page tables not being shared (aka being an overhead proportional to 
number of processes with shared libs). One inotify watch also causes about 
1.5-4kb of kernel memory to be pinned, due to some very very stupid reasons. 
Other stuff (fd's) might be in a similiar size.
