you get several thousand logins in a matter of minutes?
Due to the KIO several logins is inevitable, but I don't think its possible 
to ... lets say 3000 logins on 3 minutes, the server would for sure stumble, 
but so would your computer, you sure your data is correct?
It's like 16 connections a sec...
more like one connection per file, and quite a few files I must add ;D
Whatever it is, its not Q' fault ( can it be?). Q is using the KIO backend for 
connecting.

If you're not experiensing any showstoppers on the client side, I would read 
throught the authlogs to so whats going on with the server... Of course if 
the authlogs really is growing 2megs in matter of hours, somethings really 
fishy. Or you got a couple of thousand users trying to access the server 
fairly often ;D
