I experience the same problem on Jaunty with KDE 4.3RC1.
running apt-get update and apt-get upgrade twice makes update-notifier-kde rack up around 200 MB of Ram (everytime I run it, update... takes in a few more MBs. Also for a couple of minutes it insane amounts of CPU time (in the high 70s to 80s initially, the between 20 and 50% for another couple of minutes).

Now, on my main machine it not that big of a deal, but on weaker machines this is really annoying as this almost causes the system to come to a grinding halt.
If there is a fix out for karmic already it would be nice to have this backported to Jaunty.
