           Summary: Huge resource usage downloading previews from GHNS
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: kleverness gmail com


Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

If I click on "New Theme.." button from Desktop Settings, CPU usage go to 100% when downloading theme previews. Also, there's a lot of RAM usage as well. When watching the processes I noticed that LOTS of ones named: "kdeinit4: kio_http ..." are created, increasing memory usage very fast. When going to "New Wallpaper.." this is so bad that my desktop quite locks up if I not manage to close the window in the following seconds.

I've noticed this behavior since the refactoring of GHNS interface a couple of months ago. As of yesterday SVN this has not been fixed.

My CPU is an AMD Athlon64 3000+ with 1GB RAM and I'm running yesterday's SVN from trunk (4.0.84).

This prevents using GHNS at all, at least when the item number is quite high (like Wallpapers), so this is critical IMHO.

Hope this gets tackled ASAP.
