Try turning the mess called Nepomuk off.

My logins take quite long but I have a 8GB deep wallpaper folder which
KDE insists scanning every time - at least this version doesn't block
everything, it just makes it slow and lets me get on with the things
to a degree, previously it was a blocking action. Using a single image
speeds things up significantly.  The other obvious hog was the
so-called semantic desktop mess.
