> No, I don't. This cache-lookup is just for the authentication in kpasswdserver and as you know most pages doesn't use any authentication hence it is totally waste of time and when you have a page with 100s of objects(images) it will do a lookup for each and every one. As I said this makes kded take 20-40% of my CPU (400MHz) while loading a page(This goes to 0%  with the patch). The time is spent i kpasswdserver and if I remember correctly most of that time was in the kwallet-backend which probably could be faster.

This makes sense to me. I saw that we always ask kpasswdserver "is there a password for this url"
even on sites that really don't need a password. So I agree with the general idea of the patch,
but unfortunately I don't know the http.cc code enough to comment on the actual code change.
Dawit would be the best person to comment on it I guess?
