Try disabling (unloading) your anti-virus scanner, and see what happens.
Also, whilst not XP specific, have a read of this KB article:

There may be a tip or two you can follow there.

Well i tell ya KM eats up memory anyway,,when ya do get it running take another look in your taskmanager and see,,KM 06 on my win2k pro uses at times over 30megs,,thats why I'm not running it anymore,,I will wait for the new <snailspace> release and see if they have done anything for the memory footprint,,if not then i will totaly forget <can> kmeleon..

Well, I have no problems and I have got several icons in the launchbar: Modem Booster, Stay Connected, AVG, Outpost Firewall, Cacheman, Odigo, MSN, ICQ, and some of the others, which possibly do not use up, or only very little, memory! I have Athlon 1.2, 256 megabites of memory and 20 GIG hard drive. I also have Eudora minimised and am still able to do things with no problems. Cacheman has several settings which you can check out and it will monitor and make sure that you do not run out of resources. I find this tool very useful and can be downloaded from http://www.outertech.com for free.
