Comment 146 for bug 36581

I've got gam_server taking 100% of the cpu as well.

It looks like it is triggered by a combination of a process that I
wrote that collects data from a machine and puts it in the directory
and accessing the same directory from Konqueror. This is just a guess
on my part as I haven't thoroughly tested it.

The directory now has 17,500 files, each about 250KB in size.

I don't have time to run tests on this, I just thought I'd share that
I've got a similar problem.
