I did a bit more testing, changing from lightdm to kdm, fiddling with the 
compositor settings, didn't seem to make a difference.

It definitely improves the longer I use it, but seems to start from scratch 
after re logging in.

I did notice that kbuildsycoca5 is pegging the cpu, up to 100% of a core at 
times. Not all the time, but obviously in response to graphical events, e.g 
opening the kde menu.
