Finally, I've found what was causing the trouble: SQLite as Connection Database. It seems that Amarok stores every configuration parameter in a database - so every configuration change invokes long and lagging cooperation with SQLite. With other databases (like MySQL) it's way faster.
How to fix it:
- Go to Settings->Configure Amarok
- Switch to Collection tab
- Under Database choose MySQL:
- Specify your MySQL credentials. If you don't have MySQL server running on your machine you'll receive an error message like this:
So you can either setup a MySQL server on your machine, or just ignore the messages - but trust me, no matter what you choose it will be a small price to pay for the joy of having that incredibly annoying lag gone.
- Press OK to save configuration
P.S. KDE 4 sucks.
P.P.S. I've switched to Gnome.

It's strange how sqlite could lag on such a small load. I've never had any problem with it.
P.S. KDE4 sucks, юзаю и плачу...

I'm quite confident it's not sqlite lag, it's Amarok lagging while it searches for non-existant sqlite installation.
With MySQL it just fails way faster :)

Oh, an update :)
I used to be a KDE user. I thought KDE 4.0 was such a disaster I switched to GNOME. I hate the fact that my right button doesn't do what I want it to do. But the whole "break everything" model is painful for users and they can choose to use something else.
