This is a pretty broad question.
How much swap are you using? Are you maxed out on memory? Is it really a K6?
show what "free" has to say. Prior to restarting X use top to find out what the
whole picutre is because maybe its something else (perhaps kde? or a gnome app 
gone wild?). KDE is a pretty big girl and I think currently (3.5) requires more
than your computer will give. I see you're using kmail 1.8, then again it may be
on a different computer.
