Just standard UNIX coding, see http://docs.freebsd.org/44doc/ for all
kinds of UNIX stuff ..

Yeah I suspect that too, unless that buffer gets too big of course (eg.
w/ the -Dkjas.debug=1 argument). But like stated, lazy loading is always
good programming practise.
The main raison for the slowdown is the loading of all the swing
components (I think) and, when also showing, there is the X server and kwin
communication round trips and of course font painting that will slow it
more down.
