Check your top... you will probably find a kdeinit process eating CPU 
constantly (5-15% or so depending on CPU speed). This is due to it polling  
your .kde directory for configuration changes.

I understand there is a patch for a kqueue based implementation that doesn't 
exhibit this problem, but was never commited. Not sure what the status is.
