[Bug 130392] Re: kmail locks when pasting text into composer

[harry.mangalam]

I'm the original poster, up to date on Feisty on the same HW as
originally noted.  After continuously updating, I have noticed that this
bug is MUCH reduced now (using Kmail Version 1.9.6) - the laptop has
been up for 5 days (and suspended/woken multiple times a day with s2ram)
under heavy kmail use and until today, it has not happened. It is MUCH
better!  But today...it happened again in spades.  Just before I reboot,
I'll note this:

There were 2 things that happened simultaneously - Kmail started doing
the same thing as noted above and konqueror started misbehaving.  I've
had 3 Konqy windows open for most of this time, each with 5-10 tabs
open, back-&-forthing a lot.  Suddenly, Konqy started to be very slow in
accepting text in text widgets (address bar, form inputs), very slow to
switch to other tabs, and even when taking text, would stutter quite a
bit, sometimes for several seconds.

Hmm - I'm typing this in nedit as konqy has just become completely
unresponsive.  I'll have to submit it via opera.

I noticed that there were 15 instances of kio-http running.  Killing
them off seemed to help a bit, but overall it wasn't much better.
Other KDE apps remain responsive (kate, kwlan, kwifimanager, krdc, etc
and most gnome apps are fine (abiword).

It's strange, but Firefox has the same behavior as Konqy - very slow,
excruciatingly slow, but Opera does not - it remains very zippy. I have
no explanation for this, just noting it.
