 Ok, I want to commit the attached stuff, so please review, or I'll break your 
toy ;). The attached patches include fixing #27583, making it depend on the 
kind of view instead of local vs remote, and implement reusing of 
KonqMainWindow instances. No reusing of the views yet, I'll try it later if 
this will work fine. The time of 'kfmclient openURL' seems to be halved on 
this not so slow machine, as compared to having 'konqueror --silent' running 
and doing normal DCOP createNewWindow().

 Comments on the patch:
- not so many hacks actually, I'm quite surprised to managed to get rid of 
most of the ones I had there :)
- no kcontrol module patch yet, but that should be a problem
- the parts allowed to be reused by default are those 6 .desktop files in 
kdebase/konqueror that contain 'ReadOnlyPart' , some more to add?
- to make the already existing KonqMainWindow instance to be like a new one, I 
added KonqMainWindow::resetWindow() and a flag to 
KonqViewManager::loadViewProfile() that should reset all possibly changed 
stuff, but I'm far from being sure I found all things - anything missing
- make sure during testing that you don't get confused by some hidden running 
instance :)
- currently KLibLoader is configured not to unload shared libs, this should be 
probably changed unless you want to run konqy with everything from khtml to 
kghostviewpart pulled in ;)
- as this would make one konqy instance run practically for the lifetime of a 
KDE session, should it exit after some time (mainly to avoid the influence of 
possible leaks)?

 Erm, whatever. You've been warned, I want to commit :).

P.S. I'd be also interested if somebody with a slow machine could get a more 
precise number than 'about a half' about the improvement.
