I don't know how relevant is that bug, actually. I don't have Strigi running, 
and I don't have problem accessing directory or viewing information of large 
file. But yes, Dolphin is often sluggish for me, even on directory with small 
number of files.

In general, I feel that recently KDE is more sluggish than earlier version 
F12. Of course this is all purely anecdotal / subjective. I can't pinpoint any 
version number, or even the cause of this. Dolphin is a specific instance that 
I saw. But just using it like before, now I keep seeing X uses a lot of CPU 
most of the time on a dual core machine with decent graphic card.
