My first 12.04 install went OK for a while except it would never reboot - always just locked up forcing a manual restart. Eventually and suddenly - Dolphin started having this tremendous delay opening and responding. This was bad enough I did a full re-install. Not my usual response to a problem, but it had gotten to the point I could no longer use the system.
The new install fared better. Rebooting now works as expected. I opted to leave nepomuk, akonadi and whatever demons (not a misspelling) they include on the system for a change just to see how they had improved - although I still don't use any of their "services."
This morning, the Dolphin issue returned, although not quite as bad. There's about a half-second delay when I open it and a similar delay for every action I attempt using it. Mouse hover, changing directories, closing, whatever. It takes almost a full second for a folder to populate with icons once opened. I did a small test - launched dolphin from a terminal with the time command and closed it as soon as the "X" folder decoration to do so was available. The result was 3.8 secs - about four times slower than I am used to.
I cannot for the life of me figure out what is causing this or what started it. I did some updates last night, but I can't tell what might have caused this. Nothing is being logged, dolphin is not kicking out errors, CPUs 99.X % idle, 5GB free RAM...
Any ideas where to look? This is bugging the crap out of me....
