I don't claim to understand it, but for me it's somewhat moot since we allow 
third parties to install stuff there and one poorly written service menu 
entry could make Konq / KDesktop suck without any clear link between the 
plugin and the sucking.

Well, the numbers that I'm getting are in ms, when I divide that by the total 
I get a percentage.  ;-)  If you actually want to see what I'm working with 
I've attached The Dirtiest Patch Ever (I'm not bothering to clean it up since 
it's just hacks to get numbers out.).  I've got another ugly one for 
componentfactory.h, but at least with this one, if you feel so compelled, you 
should be able to see if you get similar numbers.  A basic guide to the 
interesting stuff:

In setup():

pr_setup11 / pr_setup_popupservices7 - addPlugins()
pr_setup8 - DCOP and big loop mentioned in my last mail
pr_setup9 - KTrader
pr_setup3 - KSimpleConfig

In addPlugins():

pr_addplugins2 - KTrader
pr_addplugins5 - createInstanceFromLibrary<>()

I've just been testing these with Konq since it's easier to restart quickly.
