No, don't do that. Just try limiting the ARC size.

Also, do the KDE checkouts have a lot of small files ? Or does it have a 
lot of compressed files
(ie. *gz or zip) ?

If that is the case you are better off not having compression.

Then don't use NWAM and see if that fixes it.
I used the same wpi driver on my Sony vaio and worked well.
