How much memory do you have and how much is in use? It is likely that
your system is thrashing about as it tries to load konqueror the first
time, then it is in cache and has already bumped other stuff out of
memory which is why it loads fast the second time. I find that kword
isn't too fast (but not that bad) to load on my not-so-bad system (it
also has to load dcop and other services).
