Description Marco polo 2017-11-18 10:45:39 UTC 
High system IO activity (for ex running 'make -j 2 install') causes Dolphin cpu usage to go up to 5%,so if i have 4 instances open,dolphin ends up taking 20 %,

it may be due to inotify watch events hammering dolphin,from the code it looks like directory watches are added for counting directory items, -- but i could be very wrong here,not familiar with the source.

any case plz fix this.its annoying to see dolphin taking up 10 - 20 % doing nothing when doing something cpu intensive.

16.12.3 is a pretty old version; does this behavior still happen with a newer version of Dolphin? I've never experienced such a problem.

No response -> closing. Please reopen this bug if you can still reproduce the excessive CPU usage with a newer version of Dolphin. Thanks!
