No its not! I have a similarly old 350 MHz system and have no where near start
times like that. From following the kde list the most common problem for
people with extremely slow start times is the network setup (Even if the
machine is not networked). Kde is waiting for a response and the system is
timing out. Make sure loopback is in /etc/network/interfaces and that
the /etc/networks file is OK. Also check your /etc/host* files and that
nothing strange is happening with dns.
