Little update. This problem must have been caused by something plasma related. KDE sent a announcement that a new plasma update was available. It took a day or two to hit the tree but I noticed last night it was available. I usually do my updates on Sunday evening but did them last night because of this problem. I did the build in my chroot overnight and installed on the live system early this morning. So far, it is using memory like it used to. This is what ps shows for it, easiest command I know to show it. root@fireball / # ps aux | grep sddm-helper root 1384 0.0 0.0 7652 748 pts/8 S+ 12:31 0:00 grep --colour=auto -i sddm-helper root 30358 0.7 0.8 325016 283652 ?

Usually by this time it would be up around 2% or more. It's seems to be rising but it is much slower. It could just be normal that it fluctuates a bit too. I guess the bug was caught and fixed. Thanks to all that read and Michael for trying to help. Dale :-) :-)
