Just to re-iterate, I was *not* trying to say konqueror *IS* slower than
file manager X.  I was trying to say *if* konqueror is slower than most
other file managers out there, that's bad.  I haven't done any benchmarks
myself, so I purposely did not draw any conclusions.

My message:

* If, for example, user X uses mc to do file management, they install
* KDE2, and they notice that konqueror takes (completely arbitrary here)
* 5x as long to copy files around that's going to reflect negatively on
* konqueror.  Or, someone normally uses Windows, they test out linux &
* KDE2.  This person have a lot of large mp3s, and... "hmm, copying
* these around is taking a lot longer than Windows.  Linux is slow!"
