           Summary: HUGE CPU-load with a large cachedimap mbox
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.9.9
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: FreeBSD
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mi+kde at aldan.algebra.com


Version:           1.9.9 (using 3.5.9, compiled sources)
Compiler:          Target: amd64-undermydesk-freebsd
OS:                FreeBSD (amd64) release 7.0-STABLE

My INBOX is fairly large (thousands of e-mails, 265Mb total size) and I'm using
cachedimap to access it and other mboxes on the same server (total size of all
boxes combined is about 780Mb).

I noticed, that kmail tends to consume an entire CPU (I have 4 in this system)
for hours, when this account's tree is open.

I could see, how the size of the box could slow down various operations, but
there is no reason to chew-up CPU-time while waiting for the server. In fact,
Thunderbird, with which I access the same account from another location, has no
problems with the size.

I thought, maybe, I'm asking it to re-check the mail too often, but the problem
did not go away even after I bumped the refresh interval from 7 to 13 minutes.

Please, advise.
