Uhm, we cache icons in memory as -pixmaps-. Not images. So they're always in 
native format for the X server as soon as loaded. Also, what makes you think 
that:
1. KIconEffect/KImageEffect application works with paletted items?
2. There is a noticeable memory use for icons
3. You can do the conversion with acceptable quality.
