bootchart for kubuntu natty w/ kde sc 4.6

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

i love the software from kde. but there is a big problem in the kde workspace.
it needs to long to boot up. take gnome gdm -> desktop(now shell) in
5-10seconds, xfce 5sec, even windows7 has a maximum of 10seconds here. than
kde. rewrite ksplash for QML??? but it should rewrite ksplash to nothing and do
something that we dont need a splash and boot up in under 10seconds, like all
the other.
plasma, even if it is the best desktop of all, is no option for a netbook. 
simply because we can not "just even take a look on a website". we still have a
boottime between 1 and 2 minutes. where gnome boots in under 1min.
But why? i'm not a developer and I dont understand why it takes so long. only
that this Problem, and yes, it is a hard problem 2011!, is there since kde3?
a beautifull desktop can attract new users but they will leave if you tell them
2 things: "wait" and "download" (ohh and maybe "menu" too ;-)

with kde sc4 there was a chance to kill that time, but nothing happens. now we
go to Qt5 and i think some application will need a little work to run with.
thats a good thing to start a "speed up boot for under 10 seconds"-mission,
isnt it?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
just boot the system



I know you all too this in your freetime and dont get money for. and I dont
want to force you to something. but its 2011. to wait is no option anymore.
Hopefully this bugreport will not marked as whish or ignored.
I gave him the priority "Major". not while "its a bug that causes data loss"
but "its a bug that causes lifetime loss" and if corse battery time on mobile
devices. Maybe the 4.10 release will called "just boot (KDESC)4 10 secounds" or
something else.
