... and why is it throttling my processor for five minutes after every boot? Mainly halting one of the processors for I/O waiting (according to top and iotop).
Yum says it belongs to kdelibs package.
So what is it for? Is it necessary, can it be shut down or rescheduled or something, is it configurable, what is its purpose?
I am not rebooting that often, but when I do, I am a bit annoyed by this. OS itself boots quite quickly and I am very happy with that, but when KDE starts up, it hogs the machine for several minutes before it becomes usable.
So what's the story here?

It removes old entries from the HTTP cache when you reached the disk quota you assigned to the HTTP cache in the Konqueror preferences.
You can assign more disk space to the cache and/or wipe the entire cache manually from time to time (but wiping the entire cache means everything which is normally cached has to be redownloaded).

Does that apply to firefox as well or just konqueror?
The thing is, I never use konqueror, so I guess there should be nothing to clean in its cache. Which brings me to the issue of 5 minutes I/O.
But if it cleans the firefox cache as well, then I can understand. I'll try to clean up firefox cache manually and reboot to see what happens.

It doesn't apply to Firefox, but if you have other KDE apps using HTTP (e.g. Akregator, or opening any http:// URL in apps like Okular, Kate etc.), those do use kio_http and its cache.
That is strange that kio_http needs a "cache cleaner" to handle old entries in the cache.
