Thanks, Tee. I've heard of nice but never used it. I'll give it a try.
I found the problem, as the high CPU load is only with Kontact open.
Somehow my kaddressbook's vcf file got base64 encoded! It still works,
but is killing the system. Luckily, I have a backup from only two days
ago. I'll still loose a bit of info, but most of the important stuff I
can recreate from memory and the Thunderbird trash bin.
