I caught kio_sieve eating 100% cpu for an extended period. Unfortunately I dno not know how to reproduce, and I do not have debugging packages installed. I got a strace showing it's stating /etc/localtime as fast as possible. Tens of thousands of lines of:

stat("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1649, ...}) = 0

The backtrace indicates this might be a Qt bug. I'm not sure, however. I'm hoping knowing the call stack and strace line might be enough to find out what's happening:
