Officially this problem has been solved. The only difference I see though is that
killing the process will instantly create a new one. So for me it got worse,
rather then better.
One would think there was another way, after all other browsers seem to get by
without that much IO. I guess it's just an unpopular area of KDE so nobody
really wants to sit down and fix it. Never had any issues with 3.5, not sure
what was changed afterwards.
