I'm thinking 'search folder updater', 'background services' in 
systemsettings5 maybe the slow down, maybe try un-checking/disable it to 
see if that helps0. Also you may want to disable Search in 
systemsettings5.  I don't think they have anything to to do with kfind 
and you will still be able to search for things and start things with 
the runner.
