Just switched to KDE5 from Gnome Desktop and KDED5 CPU usage
Did an upgrade 2 days ago to KDE5 from Gnome Desktop. Overall I like the look, but I noticed a significant difference in performance. Firing up KSysGuard, I see two KDED5 processes running, each using 48% CPU.

Did a search on the forums and did not find anything useful.

Re: Just switched to KDE5 from Gnome Desktop and KDED5 CPU usage
Apologies.
I decided to give my RAM some breathing space and made a 8 GB swap file to complement my 8 GB of internal RAM. Significant increase in performance now over all (things feel "snappy" again), and I don't have a KDED5 process consuming most of my CPU.
Tough to tell if the swap file fixed my problem, but things seem to be a lot better now.
