Please guys, read the last 60 messages on the "KDE Speed" thread, read 
Waldo's ADMIN posting killing that thread. And then leave it be.

As many people have pointed out, KDE runs on all kinds of hardware and OSsen 
and there simply is no sensible way of getting *KDE* to find out what a 
sensible setting is. [/me pimps his shell-script idea again, from the KDE

and that's pretty much where it's gonna stay.
