Interesting is the usage of different tmp directories for links in ~/.kde: cache-linux -> /var/tmp/kdecache-hendrik socket-linux -> /tmp/ksocket-hendrik tmp-linux -> /tmp/kde-hendrik Looking at /var/tmp/kdecache-hendrik, there is some konqueror stuff but nothing that could speed it up a lot.
I can get hit pretty bad when kbuildsycoca kicks in, typically when I do an upgrade then go offline (wwwoffle rebuilding its index, apt/dpkg, ...) and the output of top indicates that disk i/o is the bottleneck (both the idle and wait Cpu stats >0.0%).
It may turn out that only those with lots of RAM and not a lot of cpu cycles would benefit.
