So it's likely that it was busy.  The task now is to find out why.  The first 
suspect, to me, would be that it was trying to find an Akonadi-enabled 
addressbook and failing.  It's even possible that it was waiting for 
KAddressBook to complete migration of the addressbook.  Either way, the first 
thing I'd check is whether you have a collection of vcards in 
~/.local/share/contacts.  If you have, then I'd open up the Akonadi 
configuration (get it by typing Akonadi into KRunner) and see what 
addressbooks are set up.  You should have one called Personal Contacts which 
points to the path mentioned above.

Let us know when you've done that.
