It's a bit faster on relogin at somewhere under
That's here the same on a cold boot because the disk access is the limiting factor and therefore your numbers are what I normally get too (one kde session until shutdown). In the case I login/logout/login (tests/reconfig ...), and verything is in RAM (_no_ disk access according to led here!) I see a big effect if ICE-unix is owned by root or not. With ICE-unix chown root, after login I almost immediately see the kdesktop & ksplash on the first or second last item indicating that the apps are restored. That's on a laptop with 1.4 MHz Pentium, 512 MBRAM. I've seen the same effect on a 4 way sunserver via an X-terminal. As soon as disk access is involved the ICE-unix slowdown is hidden.
