I checked the code in Dolphin and no changes have been done in this regard since KDE 4.0, where this issue does not occur. The following code is invoked by Dolphin when the Information Panel is open:

const KFileMetaInfo::WhatFlags flags = KFileMetaInfo::Fastest | KFileMetaInfo::TechnicalInfo | KFileMetaInfo::ContentInfo;
const KFileMetaInfo fileMetaInfo(path, QString(), flags);

When hovering large files (e. g. compressed files or video files) the call of KFileMetaInfo constructor might take several seconds or minutes, although KFileMetaInfo::Fastest is used.

The issue seems not be related to Strigi or Nepomuk (turning off both of them still leads to a blocking behavior).
