The gamin server, which provides File Alteration Monitoring functionality, is notorious for eating lots of CPU power (up to 80-99%), while providing no to very little benefit. So it should not be included by default.
I had it disabled for a long time (by renaming the executable), and KDE works fine without it. This is a bug that's been known for 12(!!!) years to gamin developers and they refused to fix it.
