Two more bits of info pertaining to the subject problem:
#1. Daniel Parraz explained that I should press capital M while top is
running to show the results a different way, so here is that result:

#2 running ps -ef reveals something that may be a useful clue
in that there are multiple apparently duplicate entries in
/home/joe/tmp/ksocket-joe/ and it does seem that there might
be some kind of problem with klauncher and/or kontact and/or kmail:
