You should take a look which dll's are loaded by the related 
kioslave.exe because kioslave is only a wrapper for a specific protocol 
like file, http, ftp and so on. The related dll is named kio_file.dll or 
kio_http.dll and so on.

which are problably created for each kio_http request.


I guess that there are dependencies to kdecore, kdeui and kio, qt and 
other base libraries, all in one kioslave.
