Subject: Bug#2558: kfm slows down
X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kfm-devel&m=94869930105806

Package: kfm
Version: 1.167.2.21

Hi,

I just started using kde with linux.
Besides other things I really liked
kfm(as web browser) for its fast response.

But it looks like there is a bug in this
program. As I was using kfm to connect to a site
which was slow I saw that my system speed is going
down with lot of disk thrashing(I have a habit of
doing
a lot of stop-reconnects when connecting to a site
with slow response) . So I tried
to figure out the reason using task manager. And
I could see that I have about 100 kioslave processes
hanging around.

After playing around a little bit with kfm, I could
figure out that you fork kioslave processes, which
goes away quickly when connecting to a fast site, but
the number is around 6-8 when connecting to a slower
site. Also when I did stop-reconnect on the same site
the older kioslaves did not go away and I got more
of them. I repeated the stop-reconnect step and
kept on getting more kioslaves. 

Looks like a serious but small bug in a nice
program. After looking into your bug data base
it looks like my problem is related to #701.

I hope that this could be fixed for kfm if 
konqueror is not  coming out soon.

I use linux os 6.5 from mandrake
      The version of kfm is 1.167.2.21
      kernel version is 2.2.3
      glibc - i do not know

Thanks,
Ashish
