Is someone else also having problems with KDE on #FreeBSD - Konsole is hogging 100% always and the desktop is quite slow and laggy

Is someone else also having problems with KDE on #FreeBSD - Konsole is hogging 100% always and the desktop is quite slow and laggy.
Disclaimer: I use packages from quarterly.
drm-kmod installed, module loaded (i915) and getting a graphical session is no problem.
The problem is how slow and sluggish KDE runs currently... might it be a case of "you should run latest"?Any hints are welcome
Hardware: ThinkPad x13 Gen 1 - Intel

And: Falling back to X11 gets me the same deal
This is quite odd, last time I ran KDE on #FreeBSD there were no issuesI could imagine though that the packages in quarterly, KDE packages, have some problems - Can't really determine which one it might be (or multiple)
@jhx I tried moving from xfce4 to KDE on FreeBSD and my console log was full of reports of baloo dumping core. I am unimpressed with the quality of KDE nowadays.

Using KDE all the time - on Linux though
Xfce is great to get work done as well... and lightweight
Well, applications dumping core is not great... -

@jhx I thought this was just me.
I have Wayland KDE on FreeBSD 15 using quarterly as well. The desktop is quite sluggish making me think I should roll back to my pre-desktop-installer script run snapshot and just stick to X11 and XFCE.

Same game here. I deployed Xfce for now since it runs smooth. -

I will definitely try rolling back and seeing how performance goes keeping it simple.

Xfce is always a good choice. Used it extensively before for a long time.rolling back it is

@jhx
Have you installed last week's errata for fdtimer? That should fix it. -
