Please note that area51 ports for beta and rc releases are built with debug:
https://kf.athame.co.uk/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/area51/Mk/bsd.kde4.mk?r1=4415&r2=4427

You can disable debug support, kde surely will run faster. However two minutes 
for logon seems to much for me. On my box I feel the difference bitween 
debug/release builds, but it's not so impressive.
