I did a bit more testing, changing from lightdm to kdm, fiddling with the compositor settings, didn't seem to make a difference. It definitely improves the longer I use it, but seems to start from scratch after re logging in. I did notice that kbuildsycoca5 is pegging the cpu, up to 100% of a core at times. Not all the time, but obviously in response to graphical events, e.g opening the kde menu. -- Lindsay
