It's about a small number of thumbnails, for example:

smajewsky@magrathea /home/smajewsky
$ du -h ~/.kde4/share/config/palapeli-libraryrc
60K     /home/smajewsky/.kde4/share/config/palapeli-libraryrc

Concerning the other use-case in Kolf, we have to load two 512x512 images, but 
that's not the most expensive operation: We're calculating quite complex data 
arrays from these images for 3D rendering and physics simulation. Reading the 
image with KConfig should not be the problem.

Greetings
Stefan
