Screenshot of kioworker consumption
SUMMARY
When opening a large (>~2000 lines) text/source file in Kate, kioworker process
start consuming unbounded amounts of RAM (Whole 24GiB on my system), the system
then falls into swap (zram) and slows down, until eventual OOM or I kill
kioworker manually.
It might immediately restart and repeat the same behavior, forcing me to kill
the kioworker process multiple times to bring my system into a usable state.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a big enough text file in Kate, like /var/log/Xorg.0.log
2. Wait a bit
OBSERVED RESULT
System comes down to a crawl, need to kill kioworker.
It is possible that some of my system configs are causing this. I have
previously updated from Plasma 5, and it was notoriously present forever after.
However, I believe that if my configs are causing this it still should be fixed
as it could indicate incorrect handling somewhere. I am not sure what config
files to upload yet, so please request them individually after reviewing the
issue.
