I assume so, yes. Can some SuSE guy please comment?

That's very strange, then... sorry can't help you with that.

Yes, known issue. This won't be in 2.0, but if you send some
cookies to Matthias Elter it will be in 2.1 ;)

Hmm... that's really a low end system. KDE 2 shouldn't be a
lot more CPU intensive than KDE 1.1.2, but it surely benefits
of some memory ;)
Please try to get rid of all the "non-essential" stuff which
is started right at the beginning (e.g. kxmlrpcd, artsd,...).
As soon as your system starts to swap KDE crawls.
