Hmm! There are so many factors influencing "percieved speed", starting with 
all the hardware components interacting, the way KDE is compiled (-O0 or 
-O2), remote / localy ....
So not asking for this will lead to a lot of confusion
BTW in kicker we have an instant feedback, that the app is loading. may be a 
timer counting the seconds could be added there?
On my box (Pentium II 300MHZ 256 MB mem) most KDE2 apps (cvsup compiled with 
-O0)  load in between 1 and 4 seconds. On the other hand I have installed 
kleopatra on a older box - hmm wouldn't like to work on that one ;-(
