its incredible that after knowing of these problems for 
so long nothing has been done to solve the syscall overhead 
involved in loading a large number of files. i don't imagine
that anything will change in os support. so i guess its up
to kde specifics...

can we not have a generic watcher deamon that watches
a selection of directories/files for changes and on request 
passes the entire data set in one go to applications that 
need it? (the applications themselves wil have to be adapted
of course...)
