I don't know for sure that its just the kde email editor or more 
widely distributed.  The builtin editor kmail has is the most 
commonly used editor here by a very wide factor, otherwise its vim, 
and I don't recall vim doing that unless the machine was busier than 
that infamous cat on the equally infamous tin roof. :)

I'm currently running kernel 2.6.7-mm3 with "elevator=cfq", and the 
default anticipatory is just as bad in this effect.
