No, you are missing a great deal here. When KDE is compiled w/o debugging,
the output code gets compiled away to nothing. And output to a terminal or
xsession-errors is very slow. FYI, starting Konqueror as a file manager
from panel on my Celeron 950 takers about 600ms or so here. (Webbrowser is
slower, since it has to do a lot more work - in particular dlopening khtml,
kjs_html, preparing font metrics info, and rendering the intro page)

I know just about everything that Konqueror does on startup, and probably at
least 98% or so of it can be justified; perhaps there can be ways to try to
cache some of it, but that's a lot more difficult than what it sounds like.
(The one thing that couldn't be justified got fixed in 3.1)
