I run SUSE 10.0 (KDE 3.4.2) and I am very happy about it, except one thing: From time to times my system gets very slow: The machine does not freeze, but everything respond very slow.
A 'top' shows that Kmail is the one using the largest amount of memory and CPU. When I quit Kmail the system will get back to normal and everything (including Kmail) works just fine. The same happens if I just let the PC alone for a while. But the problem it is very annoying and I do not understand what's up. So:
1) How can I tell what Kmail is doing when it eat that many resources? 2) What can I do about it?
I have a somewhat large ~/Mail - 2,6 GB (all in maildir format). But it was never a problem with SUSE 9.1 (KDE 3.2).
Suggestions?
