Thanks for the tips. The overall systemcharge is now a bit lower. Baloo does 
not crash as often. Akonadi still does leak memory in Leap15 to a large 
amount. If you find the reason for this in TW you may consider backporting it 
at least to the 15.1 KDE version of leap (whatever that will be) because a 
productive use with no memory after 5 to 6 hours (about 6 GB only for akonadi) 
is not really possible. 
However once done the whole show (exit kontact, stop akonadi, kill eventual 
zombi processes and korgac, then restart, the problem is less severe as 
before. Still it happens as described before. Spam filter pops up and ask to 
attribute the filter to an empty list etc.). 
That does not want to be a rant but a feedback on the actions advised to be 
clear. 
Kind regards and thank you.
