I also have FreeBSD 4.8 and KDE 3.1 and have slow startup. Mine delays at
"Initializing peripherals", then the splash screen disappears and another
long wait (2 minutes maybe), then desktop appears. Apps are also extremely
slow starting, but once up are fine. Other window managers come up fine,
like wmaker, icewm, twm.
