Hiya,

kstartperf is committed to the CVS, see kdesdk/kstartperf.

It allows you to measure an application's startup very easy and accurately. 
Usage is simple: just type "kstartperf <command>" and it's startup time 
will be written to stdout. For example:

greet:~> kstartperf konsole
ASSERT: "id >= 0" in kaction.cpp (1123)
ASSERT: "id >= 0" in kaction.cpp (1123)
ASSERT: "id >= 0" in kaction.cpp (1123)
ASSERT: "id >= 0" in kaction.cpp (1123)
ASSERT: "id >= 0" in kaction.cpp (1123)
 
kstartperf: measured startup time at 1978.57 ms
 
                                     
On Linux 2.2 it is also very exact. Delta t it is output to 1/100 
milliseconds but internally it is accurate at the microsecond level. 
I don't know about other platforms.

I hope we can make startup times even better now.

Greetings,
Geert
