Created attachment 107834 [details] System Activity screenshot with plasmashell and X use much CPU Recently (a few weeks ago) I noticed that sometimes plasmashell starts to take high CPU usage (I noticed because the laptop fan started fanning). I closed the opened applications (Firefox, Thunderbird, Clementine, Kate, Dolphin etc.) but still high CPU usage. I am aware that this kind of behaviour is hard to debug. In the System Activity screenshot I can see that the process "X" also takes much CPU. Is there a way to find out which part of plasma takes these CPU resources?
Not without debugging things in Qt. See the "see also" reports of the following bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 378010 ***
