            Bug ID: 429369
           Summary: Very very slow to resolve
           Product: kpat
           Version: 19.12
          Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: solver

Created attachment 133472
  --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=133472&action=edit
Cpu running all cores.

SUMMARY
This is a fresh install of Mint 20 Cinnamon 64bit. 
Running an i7 guad core processor w/ turbo boost to 4GHz.  
Now and then the solver will run all 8 processors at 4Ghz max.  Some times for
as long as 30 seconds or more.   

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Simply just load and pick a game.  Normally the more complex games, like Mod3
or Yukon have a higher rate of displaying this issue.

OBSERVED RESULT
Oddly I observed when playing mod3 I had a choice of 2 Jack of spades to put on
a pile.  Both jacks in the top line so it made no difference which I picked,
they both would go on top of the 8 and both free a hole.  But one failed and
one did not.  
Also as the game progresses, the symptoms diminish.  Not unexpectedly since
there are less choices to test.   
Sometimes I can back up and then 'redo' the move and it solves faster.  
Normally I just assume it's having a hemorrhage and there is no solution so I
'undo' the move. 

In Mint 19.3 I had a lag for the solver but never more than 10 seconds. And
usually it was 'cannot determine if there is a solution' or whatever the
wording is.  A delay usually meant it was not a good move.   Now it's just
taking time even to say it's still a winnable game. 

EXPECTED RESULT
