      I disabled all animations, the baloo file indexing and all services that start automatically at login.
      I also installed not the full KDE Suite but just Plasma Desktop and then uninstalled all parts I don’t need.
      So technically, I’m not running KDE but Plasma. From the KDE application Suite I use Dolphin, Konsole, the archiver, the image viewer, the PDF viewer and the system settings tool.

        Yes baloo is a hog. Note that the background services systemsettings page will be hidden in the future but accessible from the global search.
