I was talking about the icon loader. The icon loader looks in many 
interesting places. I don't think "kstylerc" is a big problem.

Well, we could still cache it somehow. But again, caching a single file is 
hardly worth it. Whether you need to process "kdeglobals" or 
"kdeglobals.cache" makes little difference I'm afraid.

Well, I think the icon themes have the largest potential benefits.
