Why is kded eating so much CPU?

Hi, I'm using KDE 3.5.4, and I've noticed that kded has been
eating up 
CPU like there's no tomorrow.  It has used almost 56 hours
of CPU, and 
that's in comparison to X which has only used like 45
_minutes_ 
apparently.  Now, I'm not running KNemo or anything I know
of that 
polls stuff constantly, but kded still goes ahead and eats
95% of the 
CPU most of the time.  What's going on?  What can I do?

For me it's the opposite:
28:26 /usr/bin/X
 3:42 kded
12:23 kicker
95:50 /usr/bin/artsd
19:49 kmail
 4:41 konsole

I use kmail and konsole a lot, so in comparison only artsd
sucks (not that 
this is anything new).

Argh, it was so bad I had to reboot!  Logging out and
restarting X 
didn't even restart kded for some reason.  It doesn't seem
to be eating 
my CPU right now, so I don't know what seems to be causing
it.

It is definitely one of the modules, kded does not do much
by itself.
Maybe you have something like Kat activated, or mediamanager
with polling

Cheers,

I have kerry, but beagle has its own processes that eat up
CPU when it's 
indexing.  I have KLaptop, but that should only be polling
the battery 
every 20 seconds.  I honestly don't know what could be
causing it, and 
I don't know what modules contribute to kded's resource
usage.

If all else fails you can run

$dcop kded kded loadedModules

to get a list of all the loaded modules. Then you can unload
suspicious
modules with

$dcop kded kded unloadModule name-of-suspicious-module

and check if it makes a difference for the CPU usage.
