Code completion

[kitts]

I recently i wanted to use KDevelop to hack the linux kernel. I tried 
importing the project as with custom makefile project. KDevelop would soon 
eat up all the system RAM then the swap space before completely hanging the 
entire system.

With the beta release, KDevelop was completely unresponsive and would not 
even draw itself. Now with RC1, its somewhat better as mentioned below.

On Andreas advice, i am posting to this list  along with a portion of the 
capture. The entire capture makes a 20MB text file!

As suggested, I ran kdevelop through GDB.
