For diagnostic purposes, create a new user, and log in to KDE as that 
user. Does that user have a slow login also? If not, the problem is in 
your personal KDE settings. If so, then it's a system-wide problem. But 
I suspect it's in your files rather than system-wide, thus this 
suggestion to try a new user.
