Hi Walter,

Given your situation, I'd create a new user on the machine and login
as that user.  See if it's still slow.  I'd bet the answer is no.  I
suspect there's an issue with some KDE configuration file.

What you need to do is employ bifurcation (or divide-and-conquer) to
determine which configuration file is wonky - and file a bug!  :)

The process should be something like:

o save the new user's home directory
o copy a few files from the old user's ~/.kde4 directory to the new user.
o log in as the new user.  If there's no problem, copy more files.  If
there's a problem, restore and copy less files.

Keep doing the above until you figure out which configuration file is
causing the problem.

Cheers,
