I don't think so. I've disabled nepomuk indexing and updatedb only runs 
once a day.

That wouldn't help. If the share is never mounted by an explicit access 
everything is fine. However, once it is mounted, it is never 
automatically unmounted even though it should. As far as I can tell, 
something is keeping the automount alive. I've set the autofs timeout to 
60s, but that didn't change anything.

I suspect it is in some way related to 

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=184062

ie, the desktop hangs if a mounted share disappears. IOW, something 
related to plasma apparently keeps looking at those shares. As far as I 
can tell, I have hidden the share in question everywhere it might be 
shown in plasma or dolphin.
