Hi,
since upgrading to the new KDE 3.3 I've found that kdeinit is using 100% of the CPU.
I'm running a dual PIII 500 machine with 256MB RAM. I would have thought that this was sufficiently powerful enough to run Suse 9.1/KDE.
It didn't use as much CPU before the upgrade.
Any ideas?

I also think it should work fine in your pc. kdeinit is a meta-task that can be related not to kde but to kde apps such as kmail or konqueror, so please execute "top" in a terminal and then press "c" key to see the entire name of the tasks, and finally tell us which is the cpu-consuming task.
I've noticed that kmail ussualy consume 100% of the cpu usage when downlaoding my email (every 5 minutes), and this shouldn't happen: in other distros this works fine. Unfortunately this problem is not kmail related but something that occurs system wide: everytime HD usage is high, cpu usage reaches 100% or so: execute updatedb for example. Then do that in SuSE 9.0 and you'll be surprised!
I haven't seen this at all - in fact on my PII 350 w/ 128MB nothing seems to peak over about 15% cpu usage. Even rendering/scaling the wallpaper images doesn't tax it too much Dylan
Good luck, Edulix.
