how to make KDE faster?

[enine]

Ohh, just thought of something.  What QT verison does FC ship with.  Search the kde-linux archive for my name over the last could weeks I found a way to check the version (I can't get to the archives here at the office they are blocked for some stupid reason).  See if a kded process is burning up a lot of CPU time, it may be the pre Qt3.2.3 bug.
