I am seeing a similar behaviour on a very different machine, an eeepc 1000he. 
Since upgrading to 4.4, Kontact has become painfully slow in loading and often 
unresponsive. I get annoying Kontact freezes - everything else works fine - if 
kmail is fetching mails or doing some filtering in the back ground.

Yes, I did that too. Now I have tried re-enabling it, but nothing has changed 
so far.

This sounds familiar, too. If I check in SysMon or top, CPU usage does not go 
over 80% or something like that.

No ideas and searching around did not help so far.

The other post "MySQL log with errors" sounds familiar, too, but I don't seem 
to have calendar problems end the errors I get seem to have no influence.

So far I have no clues... I'd gladly appreciate any suggestions.  :)
