Was the machine rebooted between these two commands?
BTW, I currently have ~296 entries in my kdeglobals, and ~271 in konquerorrc, 
for a total of 567, ~0.56 of those you tested with.

Which means w/the above ratio, this will likely add more than 0.1 second to 
startup time of konqueror, and I am guessing these are the warm start times.
