Note that I'm on (btrfs on) ssd, so even cold-cache startups /should/ be fast.

Regular startup: Under 1 second.  I suspect the kwin slide-in effect is
actually delaying the window appearance.  

(I have gwenview's clear-thumbnails on exit option set, and actually have the
thumbnails dir pointed to tmpfs, so from cold-cache it does take a slight bit
of time to generate the thumbnails on the start-page's recent-folders tab, but
the dir icons themselves show up effectively instantly and the thumbnails on
them populate in under 10 seconds, I'd say.)

Slow startup: I've not timed it and perception is notoriously unreliable, but
the window doesn't show up for long enough I can launch say kpat and start
playing a game, before it shows up.

Stracing a slow-start it's quite clear there's some sort of timeout (later
diagnosed as the menu load timeout) it waits for, as there's the usual rush of
multiple pages of output as it reads all the libs/icons/fonts/config/etc,
followed by a pause of I'd say at least 30 seconds, perhaps a minute or two (it
was long enough I could select some strace output so I could scroll back to it
after the window /did/ show to see where things stopped and notice it was menu
related, the clue I needed to test and see that the menu button in the titlebar
wasn't responsive), while nothing at all is printed, before it resumes printing
more pages of output as the window appears and it regenerates thumbnails for
the start page.
