I have noticed this as well.  Dolphin will freeze almost any time I try to 
open a file by double-clicking on it.  Then it will take a few seconds to 
actually open the file.  It also will crash within a matter of minutes of even 
slight use.  I think it has something to do with the file polling, but I 
haven't had time to investigate.  It wasn't very stable in KDE 4.5.1 either.

I haven't seen this, but the Xorg process will eat up CPU if the kmix window 
is open.  It is fine if kmix is just in the system tray.  I haven't been able 
to figure that one out, but that started with KDE 4.5.1.

KDE 4.5.2 / FreeBSD 8.1 i386 / nvidia driver
