I'm really tired of having my system with a load average ~ 5 and SWAP usage
when I have NO applications open (except KDE4, Kontact and some Konqueror, no
more).

This is the typicall output of "top" command when the system begins consumig
resources (with no reason):

I've no idea of why console-kit-dae, hald and dbus are consumig so much
resources so often!


It's really extrange for me the fact that "dstat" detects a high disk writting
operations:

Also, a "free -m" tellsme that SWAP is being used!:

Perhaps this bug is not related to KDE, of course.
