Is anyone experiencing long delayand extreme memory and disk usage on start of kmail in kontact?
For me it fills-up the RAM if I synchonise a folder.
Example this morning: Took eight minutes before keyboard, mouse etc would respond. then another 2+ minutes for gui to display message all ready downloaded yesterday. Clicking on a message displayed a screen in the message window saying: Retieving folder contents (30 messages), never came back with contents. tried smaller folder 4 messages never back after 15 minutes. Killed kontact.
There can be multiple reasons. First, try disabling nepomuk. It's feeders hog the CPU from time to time. Make sure it does not filter, filtering still blocks everything else. Then check it's not the preload script – in case it happens right after starting the computer. Here preload never shows up with a high percentage in the kde widgets but if you use iotop and top you know why your system is down. Having nepomuk checking (not indexing) all files (which it does on every KDE start) and preload running at the same time will kill the system because nepomuk only disables itself when the CPU load is too high, yet hdd usage is far worse than CPU usage. There are also bugs in kmail2 which prevent the display of messages in a folder if there is an empty 1 byte file in the folder. You could also use strace to check what kmail is doing. In general these questions are better suited for the kdepim-devel mailinglist at kde.org since there are hardly any kdepim devs on this list.
