|  15 icons in one second is damn slow. How did you count them for konqy ?

I counted all icons in toolbar. There are 15 of them.
I think "Print Frame" should be removed (from default setup), as it's rarely 
used.

Do you have menu open when Konq starts? I doubt it.
You immediately see just 15 icons.

Anyway, as we discussed before, SVGs can be pre-rendered.
I think it can be some kind of post-install script.
I doubt that all 800 icons should be pre-rendered, but 100 of most-often used 
should/can be pre-rendered (and cached)

Besides, hardware acceleration would help, too.
But it would require from user XF 4.3.0, or 4.2.0 with Xr/Xc insatlled on top 
of it (as separate packages)
