TBH, Konqueror is such a multipurpose tool that I have no idea what
backend/engine/kpart it uses for rendering pure text.
Actually, when I open /var/log/syslog I get a view that suggest very strongly
that the Kate text editor kpart is used. That is, if I open the file from
within Konqueror. If I try to start konqueror with a file it will start but
open the file in the system handler (Kate for text files), very funny.

Neither am I, and you're right in assuming it could be more work than you'd
expect.

In my experience that doesn't always mean the resources are available
immediately, for RAM at least. But I digress...
