            Bug ID: 342226
           Summary: file transfer animation takes a lot of cpu cycles
           Product: plasma
           Version: 4.11.11
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: notifications
          Assignee: notmart@gmail.com
          Reporter: amitshah@gmx.net
                CC: plasma-bugs@kde.org

Transferring a lot of files to a slow device (e.g. a phone, via mtp) shows the
animation for a long time in the notification area - and that takes up
considerable cpu resources.  This also makes my laptop heat up a lot.

In general, a separate icon for ongoing activity is preferable to an animation
to conserve resources.

I'm using:
kde-workspace-4.11.14-3.fc21.x86_64

'top' output for a long-running copy:

 1296 root      20   0  489448 139876 109076 S  22.2  1.7  40:11.68 Xorg.bin    
 1943 amit      20   0 3566032 227152  72792 S  22.2  2.8  49:02.05
plasma-desktop          

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy a file
2. 
3.

Actual Results:  
See animation in notification area

Expected Results:  
No animations while file transfer in progress
