[kde-freebsd] [RFC] KDE startup time and kbuildsycoca4

If you take out kbuildsycoca4 from /usr/local/kde4/env/xdg-env.sh KDE starts 
faster for 10-15 secs

My boot was like 45 secs, with that line removed is 30.

kbuildsycoca4 in this file is not necessary, because is run by KDE at startup 
anyways.

Can someone else confirm this actually speeds up KDE startup?

(tested on 4.6.5 from ports)


This creates a log of startkde, if run from X without KDE (borrowed from a 
gentoo forum):

set -v; /usr/local/kde4/bin/startkde 2>&1 | while read line; do echo -n 
"$(date '+%T.%N'): "; echo $line; done | tee /tmp/startkde.log

This log confirms kbuildsycoca4 is run at startup.

Greetings!
