I did not see this so far. However I have KMail and Akonadi almost 
running all of the time.

What I see, since a few years, that during download of mails from POP3 
accounts it often enough pauses for a minute or even more before 
continuing. I have no idea what Akonadi is doing at this time. There is 
almost no CPU usage or anything like that.

I am not sure whether I reported this one as well. Currently I lost hope 
on any improvement in that matter. So I cope with it, until I eventually 
really have had enough and switch over decades of mail and appointments 
and an address book, last one would be easiest to another software stack 
that actually works reliably.

Best of success with figuring out what goes wrong in your case and to find 
a solution.

Best,
