+Then you should disable nepomuk, strigi, akonadi and maybe other services
+via systemsettings, if you don't use these. If you don't want akonadi at all,
+don't use the clock plasmoid in the control panel, and remove all akonadi
+agents from the scripts that autolaunch them, and don't use any kdepim
+application.
+
+Another tip could be: don't reboot so frequently and just keep kde running :)
