  with the trick of the QTimer,  it shows an usable desktop actually before things are preloaded, then starting doing its things in the background.
  thesting on the local systems, plasma seems to stay fluid even while it's actually performing the preload in the background, so shouldn't be noticeable there.
  of course, needs to be tried by many people with systems more or less performant
