Hi,

 If you ever tried to update a KDE from binary packages while it was 
running you could see that after a package is installed kbuildsycoca is 
automatically executed as it notices that new files were installed. And 
this is done for every single package, altough it would be more than 
enough to do only after the whole upgrade was finished
The problem becomes when there are more users logged on to the machine, 
as a kbuilsycoca instance is executed for every user and for every 
package. This can easily slow the PC down to an unusable state with 
heavy loads and results in a long upgrade time. 
 Question: is it possible to disable kbuildsycoca for a certain period? 
I can easily run it after the upgrade was done manually.

Andras
