Hej Newsgroup, 

Whenever I start an application in KDE a little icon beneath the mouse-arrow
starts jumping until the program is loaded and then disappears. 
Normally.
Whenever I start a big application, e.g. firefox, the little icon starts
jumping, but even if the program is loaded & running, the icon keeps
jumping, for the next 30 seconds and disappears then. 
This is kinda annoying and happens since KDE 3.1 to me. (self compiled).

Is this, because of lack of Power (CPU,RAM, etc.) ?
Has anybody noticed something similar?

Here is a top dump, which maybe can help:
