From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030509 Description of problem: KDE slows down considerably after being continuously up for few days. Mouse counter becomes jumpy, window focus change takes significantly more time than specified in "Auto raise delay". First few days the system is OK, then gets gradually slower. After a week I have to restart kde (logoff, restarts also the X server). After relogon, things are again snappy for a few days. I mainly run 10-20 xterms, mozilla, kmail and psi. Killing individual apps does not restore quick response. Some swap space is used, and overall memory usage also rises continously. However, system is not constantly swapping and it is also slow during time it is certainly _not_ swapping (no disk activity). All packages are from current Rawhide tree, only kernel is stock rh9. Using rawhide kernel didn't introduce any change in this pattern. This behaviour started few months ago, in June or May. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.1.3-7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start up your normal set of programs. 2. Work for a week. Actual Results: System latency is very poor. Expected Results: System latency should not degrade significantly.
