If this is true, then it is a bug that needs to be fixed.

There is no reason that Konqueror needs to go through the fonts EVERY 
time it is started.

If it is necessary to go through the fonts, KDE should do this at startup.

Are KDE and Qt still reading: XftConfig even if you have built them 
against FontConfig and XFT2?

NOTE: I think that the solution to some of the speed problem is to have 
Konqueror be set up as application that is always running (without a 
window open) and then when you "start" it, it just forks off another 
instance all ready to go except for startup of the 'part' that it contains.
