This is partially solved, and was not KDE related at all afterall. I |

did suffer the same slowdown in Gnome, XFCE, LXDE and KDE. |

I downgraded to kernel 2.6.34.3 and everything runs smoothly again. No |
21 |
more hangs or sluggishness. It would seem that something in 2.6.35 |
22 |
series kernels does not like my computer, or something in my computer |
23 |
does not like 2.6.35 series kernels. |

Based on LKML lurking I guess I'll need to learn how to git bisect the |
26 |
kernel and prepare myself for many reboot cycles. Either that or keep |
27 |
using old kernel and hope my problem is fixed either on purpose or by |
28 |
accident in future kernel releases. |
