> KDE4.2 to respond at all, I go into yakuake, run top and renice manually
> Akonadi and its children (as previously posted-and would do it eventually if I
> am I am logged in and they have been running long enough). Things still crawl
> but as least the machine reponds. The CPU monitor shows mucho activity.

> Only towards afternoon does it all settle down. This does NOT seem dependent

> Something needs be done for KDE usability throughout the day. Maybe more
> akanodi maintanance/syncing could be cron'ed/kcron'd to later in the day. All
> this stuff MUST be niced from go. I am not running nepomuk which is another
> offender (I have recollindex going, niced 19 and do not notice it--krunner
> plugins also do indexing, scanning, and krunner needs to be niced as well).
> The moral, be nice, boy & girls :-)
