i've been experiencing major slow down of almost all menu and some apps like galculator for example. Multiple calls to pulseaudio seems to be the problem.
echo autospawn = no > $HOME/.config/pulse/client.conf
fixed the issue without me having to actually kill pulseaudio so i suppose it is crashing on its own
it may be important to note that i'm running a custom kernel right now because my sound card is not supported yet, see bug: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111021
i have done a trace along with galculator since it seemed to be more affected than the others will post the results.. sorry about the size, its the first time i do this... no idea what calls to include or not in the trace...

by the way, the trace was before the crash happened, when i figured pulseaudio was the culprit i turned it off once and it did fix my porblem. i turned it back on to be sure and the problem started again immediatly. once i finally turned it back off, this is when i got the crash.
