Description Alexander Potashev 2018-02-01 13:32:22 UTC
While running Plasma (plasmashell), install/remove some package with package manager (I use dnf on Fedora), so that it runs update-mime-database. When update-mime-database runs, plasmashell's CPU load is around 45% which is much higher than usual, I think it can be reduced by reactive to filesystem changes less aggressively.

May be related to bug #386834
Comment 2 Justin Zobel 2020-11-30 01:21:18 UTC
I've tested but I can't reproduce this. update-mime-database should take fractions of a second.

Can you please test and confirm if this issue is still occurring or if this bug report can be marked as resolved.

I've set the bug status to "needsinfo" pending your response, please change back to "reported" or "resolved" when you respond, thanks.
