Public bug reported:
This may not be a bug (Herd4) but just related to the unoptimized Herd4
and fixed by Feisty release.
ANYWAY I am running 7.04herd4 at work and I notice a lot of system
bottlenecks happening. I don't think that I have an unreasonable amount
of applications running; usually Amarok, Gajim, KMail, KMix, Klipper,
sometimes KNotes in the system tray; on the Desktop I have maybe some
Konsoles and Firefox. Today I only had QuadKonsole, Yakuake (running
top), and VMWare running, and VMWare had a virtual Debian Etch running
(no X). The whole system slowed to a crawl, to the point that the KDE
clock was 25 minutes behind. The mouse moves but the keyboard is
unresponsive/unrecognized; I cannot even log into the system on another
console (or whatever it is when I press [ctrl][alt][f2] )
This is a Dell something with a P2.4 processor and 512MB of RAM. It
looked like it could be a disk-thrashing issue, but it said that I
wasn't using any SWAP space (according to the KDE System Monitor running
in the tray, which was updated 25min before I left).
I let it run overnight to see if it'll clear up or not. I am willing to
provide more information if needed, and these may be long-taken care of
issues/bottlenecks. However, this just seemed a bit too important to
let it pass.
Thanks for the hard work, Ubuntu and Kubuntu teams!
