Oh, I thought that might have been behind the memory issue...

But actually it sounds like you don't have direct rendering? Check
with glxinfo (from x11-apps/mesa-progs):

$ glxinfo | grep -i direct

If not then check out this thread in the forums for the correct kernel
configuration:

If that works you can also try building the KDE libraries with -Os to
help with memory. I don't think you should be using swap at all.
