Having a bit of trouble with KDE. Every few minutes, things just freeze up for about 30-45 seconds before running again.
Not everything freezes - just the KDE stuff i.e. the panel, widgets, the weird cashew, and even windows/window decorations (but not actual applications).
I've found a few similar cases, but none of the fixes apply:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=127747 (no fixes here work)
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=159237 (I have intel, not nvidia)
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=287002 (could be, but no specific fix)
Technical details for what they're worth:
3.16.3-1-ARCH x86_64 GNU/Linux
Intel Ivy Bridge i5 with integrated graphics
6Gb RAM
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: Solved by removing all widgets from the KDE dashboard.

Update: frustratingly, this started happening on my desktop too.
pstree shows a huge amount of chrome/chromium processes running, and many are under plasma-desktop.
Desktop has nvidia card, so link #2 above may apply, though I thought that issue was solved long ago. Does not seem to coincide with an update in the repos of either package, as it just started happening in the past week.

I can't add anything constructive other than I am running KDE on desktop and laptop without issue (Nvidia desktop intel graphics on laptop). If you create or log in as a different user, does that user also suffer the same issue? It may be a specific widget that's causing the problem

Thanks Tom! I think it was a widget.
Problem was solved by removing all widgets from the KDE dashboard. Now I need to use them one by one and determine which was blocking plasma-desktop.
