There's been a change in the KDE global icon cache lately which causes
it to not use an mmap'ed file anymore. The reason for that are various
crashes due to unclean deletion of the mmaped file (as far as I
understood). I'll try to find the bugreport later and check wether the
problems are all solved and wether its going to be re-enabled.

That said I don't have a problem with the completion here (recent
kdelibs), but I know that icon loading can be extremely slow, just try
and open a subtree in the project treeview. Whats needing so much time
is loading all those icons.
