Maybe not a bug. Maybe just a config issue. But something that other
people are experiencing. In any case, we need to get to the bottom of
it.

Very interesting. Thanks for confirming this. Have you also noticed that
when it does hang and the CPU spikes, the KDE window decorations (the
title bar around windows that contains the min/max/close buttons)
disappears?

What video card and driver are you using?

Hmm. I can't say I've noticed this. What type of CPU do you have?

Thanks for the response!
