[SLE] Kmail slow down my system / SUSE 10.0
I run SUSE 10.0 and I am very happy with 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. The same happens if I just let the PC alone for a while. But 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) Why 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. SuSE 10.0 (fresh install with all patches). KDE 3.4.2, Kmail 1.8.2 P4-2,6Ghz, 512 MB RAM.

Are you using SpamAssassin with it? On my machine the kmail program itself freezes until the scanning is done, and it may slow down the overall system some. I have 768 megs of RAM, the effect may be more pronounced on a machine with considerably less. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

What about beagle? It may have problems indexing such a big mailbox. -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Windows is a 32-bit extension to a 16-bit graphical shell for an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor by a 2-bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Are you sure that you don't have Spamassassin running? Kmail has it's own version and you may have triggered it without realizing it. Look under "Tools" Bob S. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
