[PLUG] Time to downgrade?

[म.हा.सा.ग.र]

Hello,

i have been running kmail on MDV2009 for sometime now, and with
Turion64 Processor & 512 M Ram.

Since i started facing a problem of kmail taking lot of time to
refresh between mails, I started system monitor.

It seem the CPU is at 97%+ load at times when I am using switching
between large messages...

During those times memory also touches near highest peak sometimes...

is it a case for memory increase or CPU (i mean laptop) upgrade ?

wonderfully surprising fact is that till MDV2008.1 i never had this problem.

now i am using KDE4 (possible culprit :-)

illumination on the subject is welcome from anybody and everybody...
