Hey, thanks for that. I turned that off. Also turned off NSPlugins scans in 
startkde. Now it starts in 23 sec. on bootup and 15 sec for a cached startup.

FreeBSD isn't that fast afterall. I am sure there are other goodies that could 
be turned off rather than scanning for each startup. Haven't looked into fonts 
stuff yet. That must be heavy as well..
