See my "nepomukfromhell" thread. Check with:

I narrowed it down to the system tray applet, toggling the option to show/hide icons stopped the CPU hogging. Go figure...
My plasma-desktop (updated from KDE 4.2) uses 1% or less. You might try with a different user and if that works better, stop palsma, move the configs (~/.kde4/share/config/plasma*) that make your plasma misbehave and restart plasma from scratch.
Also make sure to test without compiz and check whether your Qt version fits your KDE version, both issues did cause trouble in the past.
I have isolated the cause of escalating cpu usage on plasma-desktop "on my machine". I change "Application Launcher" from the "new Kickoff Menu Style" to the old standard "traditional" and immediately the cpu usage starts gradually dropping down around the 1.6-1.7% area. I repeatedly read the cpu usage for plasma-desktop every five minutes and noted the time when I made changes and can correlate the usage changes directly to changing the "Application Launcher". Using the new Kickoff version used as high as 47%. :^( Bugs: novell: 529358 kde: 204183 -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
