           Summary: Various akonadi processes use 100% CPU and 200% RAM at
                    every KDE session startup
           Product: Akonadi

            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

On every KDE session startup, a bunch of akonadi-related processes are started.
These start hogging the system CPU and RAM shortly after startup, and quickly
tie up 100% CPU and 200% RAM (i.e. they use up almost 8G physical RAM and start
chewing on swap as well!)

In order not to have my 2-core 8G RAM machine completely bogged down by these
processes, I have to kill the processes manually, else my session becomes
unusable and I have to reset the machine.

Ubuntu: up-to-date 11.10


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Log into a KDE session.

Actual Results:  
akonadi ties up all system resources up.

Expected Results:  
akonadi should not hog CPU nor RAM.
