If that time is over, it does at least a fast icon loading (i.e., KFileItem::iconName() without known mime type) to ensure that no visible icons are "unknown". Actually, this "fast" icon loading will only be fast for folder when David's patch from http://lists.kde.org/?l=kfm-devel&m=137102348931280&w=2 is in master.
