KDE4 and huge open descriptor

[pelmen]

Hi

When I work in KDE, I watch by

procstat -fa| wc-l

that system keeps a lot of open files, most of them belong to kdeinit4.

Is this a normal situation:

procstat -fa | grep kdeinit |wc -l

3284

Or something is wrong? It seems so kdeinit monitors for file modification. But the number of file impressive

It seems to be as I have a similar number.

[tethys]:/home/rnejdl> procstat -fa | grep kdeinit |wc -l
3599
[tethys]:/home/rnejdl>

I came across this thread as I was wondering why kdeinit always consumes about 5% of cpu just sitting there.

Thanks!

If I remember correctly, it's due to kqueue files monitoring (which is not responsible for that 5% of CPU usage, anyway, as I always have 0%).

I turned off Oxygen animations and kdeinit is now at 0%. I have no clue on that one.
