When I tried to resize the folder view widget, it was very strangely slow, and my disk had a good amount of work to do, which is obviously absurd, so, using [font=Courier]lsof[/font] and [font=Courier]strace[/font], I discovered that plasma was repeatedly creating, writing to and then deleting a file named [font=Courier]/var/tmp/kdecache-user/kpc/plasma_theme_default.lock[/font].
I moved the directory kpc into a tmpfs partition and symlinked it back and everything went fine. There is surely a bug somewhere.

By the way, I'm using KDE 4.2.1.
