Thanks for opening this question.
Tool bar just below timeline has a percentage indicator (just left of "normal mode" tool icon) that shows up when kden slows down or locks up. Is there a way to reset other than closing down kden?
Might not have any similarity, but I wondered if there was a "flush cache" like in Adobe After Effects. Occasionally something challenges Keden and system locks. Most often the percent indicator displays when I have issues with audio sync.
Thanks,

Well the progress bar is here to show the progress of an operation. This includes loading a project file or creating the thumbnails. In your case, I think you have the audio thumbnails enabled and Kdenlive is busy creating them that is why you experience a slowdown.
You can disable audio thumbnails if not necessary by clicking on the "Show audio thumbnails" icon in the statusbar (on the right side of the zoom slider).

I just re-ran the project I had slowdown issues with. This time audio thumbnails were only made visible for the time necessary to sync a seperate track. I then disabled audio thumbnails while working with effects on the timeline and am happy to report Kden ran just fine.
Thank's for the advice j-b-m,
I've disabled audio thumbnails and will be activating only when needed.
