Yes,
I've followed on and off your kmail woes. From what you describe
this is a bug that should be fixed. kmail should not continually be
putting a load on the system resorting indexes, etc.. There should be
debugging that can be cranked up to cause TDE to spit out INFO level
messages for kmail that may give a better picture of what is going on.
If the problem is that your mail store is too big for kmail to
handle without thinking it needs to reindex -- that's still a bug and
whether it is a Qt3 issue or kmail issue, both should be solveable
today. (just off hand I can see if a limit is INT_MAX how a 20G mail
store would be an issue), Regardless, whatever it triggering the
reindexing needs to be identified.
Whatever was burning up the cores on your old box -- is still
causing the same mischief on your new box -- it's just doing a whole
lot more mischief a whole lot faster now....
That I think matches my swag on this, and it ought to be fixed. If anyone
knows of a debug flag that would enable a window into this behaviour,
I'm all ears, and can usually find and read logs.
