I had the same problem and the solution was exactly as Andrew Lees said. But I 
went through several test before getting there. I logged off KDE and started 
a simple xterm on X. Then I went opening some applications and KDE components 
(dcopserver, knotify, klauncher, kded, ksmserver) I don't remember when but 
somewhere in those test I got a error message talking about "name resolution" 
and after that everything got slow. What bothered me the most was that almost 
no CPU power was being used, but finally the solution came up with that 
approach. I'm not saying it will work for you, but I think you won't lose 
anything trying it. I'll be glad if it is of some help.

Andy.
