- launch kdevelop
- open a session with one or more projects and a good number of files
- kdevelop will start parsing
- you do something else while that goes on, so kdevelop isn't the frontmost app
- the kernel notices that `process kdevelop.bin[15026] caught causing excessive wakeups. Observed wakeups rate (per sec): 917; Maximum permitted wakeups rate (per sec): 150; Observation period: 300 seconds; Task lifetime number of wakeups: 45150` followed by
- `ReportCrash[15495]: Invoking spindump for pid=15026 wakeups_rate=917 duration=50 because of excessive wakeups`
- and sooner or later thereafter the offending application is suspended until you bring it back to the foreground
- you come back from getting that coffee or whatever you were doing while kdevelop was doing its parsing thingy
- kdevelop is about at the same point (% parsing progress) where you left it.
