If you do that you need a full copy of the mimetype+apps+services+servicetypes
stuff in ~/.kde, otherwise it won't work...

I thought KDirWatch was quite efficient, but I'm not sure.
I think the best would be to try this out, and if it's really slow, one
solution is to run kded only once, to kill it (so that you get your
ksycoca file), and re-run it manually evertime you want a change to
be taken into account...
