Ok, if you don't have any open documents and you've already opened the project 
before then it shouldn't need to parse all files on startup.  Besides, in 
this case the backgroundparser works in the background.  The GUI is 
responsive before it is completed.

When we get the static stuff in the parser sorted out we can use even more 
threads which might make it faster.

If you choose to open 2000 documents on project start, then you really aren't 
happy with it under a couple minutes?

I've talked about it with Matt a little.  He said that one of the things that 
is eating away is the calls to KMimeType::findByUrl() i think.  I cache that 
information now so it is only called once per doc.  We'll continue to try and 
get better.
