Is this behavior normal? Plasma Shell and other things too many entries

Hey, everyone. Recently I moved back to KDE (2 weeks old install) fully updated.

Looking at Htop this looks very weird to me. Never seen such behavior in previous installs of KDE (arch and ubuntu-based),

You can check it here: https://imgur.com/LKpyJ6B

qBittorrent has a lot of entries too.

The first screenshot is right after a reboot.
The second one is after a couple of hours of usage. And my system becomes sluggish and stuff is opening a lot slower.

New members are limited - that is intentional - as images are not searchable and therefore useless.

But you can however post the output from terminal - and do remember to select all pasted text - then click </> in the post toolbar - to properly format the pasted text.

I am no a KDE user primarily because Plasma shell can quickly become a resource hog - that is how it is - you need to constantly watch it - that is how it is - and I don’t want to spent my time tracking resource usage.

Please take a look at this topic on how to provide usable information

Thanks, added the hardware.
From the rest not sure what exactly to add.
