I feel with you. I reported this as a bug a long time ago. And Akonadi 
developers are aware of it. Just fixing it is a complex task.

The main issue is that Akonadi basically can only do one thing at once. 
It does not really multitask. According to Dan there are plans to change 
that. As there are still plans to revamp the indexing/search 
infrastructure to be much more lightweight.

I have none, expect probably given PostgreSQL more memory.

It is mostly okay for me, but at times I wait a bit as well, so… I may 
look into the PostgreSQL configuration and give it more memory. This 
laptop has 16 GiB of RAM, so giving a bit more to PostgreSQL would not 
be a problem. When I did with MariaDB back then, it helped a bit. That 
was at least my subjective impression.

Thanks,
