KIO_FILE?

[Dave Stevens]

Hi Folks,

I have a F7 setup (new install) on a dual core opteron box with 2G of DDR2-667 
RAM. hd is a Seagate SATA 320, ATI graphics. I use kmail as my pop client. 
The system is a dog. I click to retrieve mail and a huge draggy delay takes 
place. I use Beagle indexing. Top shows no consistent cpu load associated 
(AFAIK) with any program but I repeatedly see kio_file as a process (usually 
several instances). I don't know what this is but would be happy to have more 
information. Is it known to be pathological? a resource hog? what is its 
relationship to kmail? can I have one without the other? pointers to more 
info?

TIA

Dave
