Kopete - enormous memory usage

There are no plugins available and all notifications have been turned off. Anything can be done about it on my side?

VIRT gives the size of the virtual memory space of the application, which is not equivalent to how much memory it needs. On my computer the VIRT column adds up to well over 30 GB, although I only have 4 GB of memory installed. It is thus not relevant for judging how much memory a process uses.
