I'd suggest bumping this up.. It's definitely the kded5 [kdeinit5] process, and it's written 36 GB of those messages in just the time it's taken me to create an account and log this comment, and eventually kded dies, taking title bars and borders with it. Hardly usable.

This install is i386 also, but bare metal on a Dell E6500. It was a 14.04->16.04 online upgrade.

Affects me too. Upgraded from trusty LTS to xenial LTS (i386) on a Dell D630 when the fun started. Per information posted elsewhere, a temporary workaround to stop the extreme CPU utilization and the spew into ~/.xsession-errors is to run "balooctl disable", then kill the running "baloo_file" process (which should take care of the "baloo_file_extractor" child process as well).

uname -a gives:

in my ~/.xsession-errors there are just two files, that apparently have changed.
But as stated above they are mentioned a lot!! and it does not stop (although they do not change).

("/home/leon/file1.log", "/home/leon/data/file1.csv")

log_kioremote: RemoteDirNotify::FilesChanged
log_kioremote: RemoteDirNotify::toRemoteURL( QUrl("file:///home/leon/file1.log") )
log_kioremote: result => KUrl()
log_kioremote: RemoteDirNotify::toRemoteURL( QUrl("file:///home/leon/data/file1.csv") )
log_kioremote: result => KUrl()
