Yes, this might be a fix here. When you update your distro, you most certainly 
also update most/all of your system headers. These then have to be restarted 
and apparently, there are still bugs in KDevelop which make this an 
_extremely_ slow process...

Anyhow, if deleting the cache is not helping, please profile KDevelop with 
e.g. "perf record --call-graph dwarf -p $(pidof kdevelop)" when it is slow. 
Then do a perf report and tell us the results.
