Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kopete
Kopete seems to have an issue where if there is some kind of file I/O
(seemingly unrelated to Kopete), it starts grabbing all available memory
and CPU. If Kontact is running, Kontact will join this race for hte
top, and the OOM handler will generally end up killing Kontact. With
Kontact closed down and not running at all, I have seen Kopete do this
whenever archiving a web page inj Konqueror (any web page seems to do
it), and even running the Adept package manager. I do not see these
problems with Kopete shut down. Whether I have open chats or not does
not matter. I am running MSN, Jabber and ICQ plugins with Kopete.
When Kopete does start this grab for memory and CPU, it will calm itself
down in about 1-2 minutes and my system will become usable again.
This system has a gig of memory, half a gig of swap, and is running the
VESA Xorg driver (ATI video), if that matters.
While I do not have concrete evidence of this, I believe that this was
also occurring with the "official" KDE 3.5.6 Kubuntu packages, which is
why I tried updating to the packages offered by Jonathan Riddell.
