No, that is just because I have far more application open simultaneously than 
I should, including heavy computations. I have not taken time to manage their 
niceness lately, so that is why Dolphin is so slow here. But even so, I don't 
think I am the only one to use many applications at once. I don't know if a 
background process is a good way to do it, but I think that base utilities 
(Kate, Dolphin, maybe KMail/Kontact) should default to higher priorities.
