Is it sure, that the performance problem depends on the created 
instructions ? There may be other reasons why a kde application runs 
slow on windows.
an application using many dbus calls may run slow on windows because the 
tcp protocol, which is used by dbus on windows, is about 5-10 times 
slower than domain unix sockets on linux (see *Local* Communication 
bandwidths in MB/s at 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-01/msg01719.html). Other socket 
connections between kde applications for example kioslave connections 
may be affected too.
