[Bug 48389] Re: KMail slows down while typing an e-mail

[Tim Holy]

I can confirm this, too (Kubuntu Dapper), although it doesn't happen
every time. I generally find that I need to type a paragraph or two
before it kicks in. But on longer emails it usually happens.

The slowdown persists only in a particular message; once I hit send, the
next message works normally (at least until that message, too, hits the
slowdown). As a workaround, I usually copy my message into kate, finish
typing it, paste back into kmail, and hit send.

On at least one occasion I noticed that gam_server was occupying 10-15%
of the CPU. However, I think that may not happen every time; in other
words, gam_server may be unrelated to this kmail bug. But could kmail be
saving to disk as I type, and be having a "fight" with gam_server?
