SUMMARY Oftentimes, launching a new dolphin instance when I have 2 or 3 already opened dolphin windows will take a couple seconds, despite the CPU and disk being almost idle. Other apps launch instantaneously. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch a few dolphin windows. 2. Use computer normally. 3. Launch another dolphin window by middle-clicking the task manager (assuming it's configured to launch a new instance on middle click). OBSERVED RESULT Takes unreasonably long to launch dolphin some times. Other times it launches immediately. EXPECTED RESULT Dolphin should always launch instantaneously.

Hello! You've reached the KDE bug tracker, which is for tracking and investigating specific bugs. Unfortunately there is not enough information in here to proceed or pinpoint where a bug (if any) in KDE code might be. Can you please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting and add more information here, including why you think it might be a bug in any KDE software? If you read through that wiki page and don't feel like it's helped at all, I'd recommend closing this bug report and posting a question at https://discuss.kde.org/c/help/6, and hopefully the people there can help you. Thanks!
I think it doesn't happen anymore in recent plasma/frameworks versions.
