[Bug 36581] Re: gam_server consumes lots of cpu time

[arty]

This is my case, not sure what my point is really , except that
Ubuntu/Kubuntu Dapper is not usable for me because the performance is
way too slow.

If I mount an encrypted drive with a large mp3 collection on it ,and then start Krusader , cpu usage goes from the 10-20 range to the 95-100% range on a duron 800.
My root,home ,and swap are also encrypted so there will be some overhead there as well.

I am running Ubuntu with KDE installed (cos the Kubuntu install wouldn't
let me partition my drive the way I wanted to...or I wasn't using it
properly ...I'm a linux noob)

I am running KDE partly because Gnome was slow and the file browser
would crash when I deleted a directory (and other applications crashed),
and I liked the look of krusader. I did a new install in case my crashes
were self inflicted.

If I select gamin in adept manager to uninstall, and preview the
changes, removing gamin will  remove the ubuntu desktop along with 11
pages of other apps. There is lots of Gnome stuff there.

Ubuntu was very slow for me even before I added KDE, but I wasn't aware
of this bug so can't say for sure that this was the cause....but if I
was a betting man...
