Right. There's still that *other* loading step that takes forever.. 
unless KDE4 doesn't do that? (Or is this the thing that's been 
backgrounded?)

Huh, I just re-tested... it took maybe 25 seconds for the GUI to come 
up, and 35 seconds (I timed click to settled; I'm guessing at the 25 but 
not the 35) for everything to fully start, which is a LOT faster than I 
was seeing before. In fact, that 10-15 seconds is exactly what I was 
looking for; if the pre-GUI-started slowness gets better, then we're 
REALLY making progress.

You know more what happens on load than I; maybe something that my 
previous version never persisted is suddenly working better in 3.3.91? 
That would make sense with even 3.3.91 being slow the first time, but 
faster now. (MIME type caching, that you mentioned, maybe? Is that in 
3.3.91?)
