Aside from checking the version and reporting bugzilla notices,
you CAN do these things (no root permisssions needed):
1. Renice the process so it's a lower priority
renice +2 -p <PID>
2. Temporarily STOP the process
kill -STOP <PID>
and later re-enable it with
kill -CONT <PID>
Also note that the purpose of GAM is to detect changes to your filesystem
(so it can update the desktop icons, etc). If you have another process
that is creating a lot of files, then you should have it use some
subdirectory someplace (and not your home directory), as that should not
wake
gam_server up as much.
Thanks for letting me know. I think that the only process that's changing
anything in my home dir is kmail because it receives mail in my mail box
there.
If this is causing the trouble than I hope I move kmail's box out of my home
dir. I'll check on that.

Marcel
