Pretty much but it's not that bad.It takes about 2-3 seconds for a small app to start and it jumps up to 35%-50% CPU when starting a KDE app(konsole,konqueror). .xterm starts-up instantly and jumps about 3%. My system is a K6-2/500 with 256MB RAM (no NFS).This is with samba,ominorb,netscape and 3 konsoles running .
