OK, I imported the iCalendar that was exported by Lotus 
Organizer into KOrganizer. That was the same file we 
initially imported with Outlook as well. So now I got two 
versions of the calendar, one with TNEF entries and one 
with libkcal entries. The libkcal version is faster, but 
still slow. Here are the times (both are averages of 3 
tries): 
libkcal: 19 seconds with 1085 entries.
TNEF: 98 seconds with 1003 entries.

(I knew the TNEF version was slow, but _that_ slow...)

The system I tested on was a Pentium 4, 1.7GHz with 256MB 
memory.
