On my faster machine, kdevplatform takes about 4 or 5 seconds, and kdevelop 
about 10. That is actually something I can live with, but there is people who 
work on even bigger projects. Consider kdelibs. Loading this project still 
takes a considerable amount of time, and this cannot be fixed alone by making 
the parser faster, because there is a lower bound for the speed.

And apart from that we have sessions. At some point I would like to have 
kdevplatform, kdevelop, and kdelibs open in my "KDE" session, and it should 
still be loaded instantly, instead of slowly having them pop up one by one. 
With caching, this would be possible.
