Application startup takes ages for me too; on a notebook of mine, it
went away when I deleted the .kde user directory. On another
computer, this didn't help but he had a resolv.conf entry for some
nameservers that weren't reachable; this caused *extensive*
slowdown. I found out about that with stat, the process was hanging
in a DNS query poll.
On my current system, I also get slowdown, but I assume it is
because the mainboard for my K6-2 333 has a cacheable area of just
64 MB; this means any memory above this is painfully slow. This
would hurt at application startup time I suppose...
Maybe one of these things helps you!
