Hi,
The documentation https://api.kde.org/frameworks/kinit/html/index.html states:
"Using kdeinit to launch KDE applications makes starting a typical KDE applications 2.5 times faster
(100ms instead of 250ms on a P-III 500) It reduces memory consumption by approx. 350Kb per application."
There is no mention of how the startup times were measured, but I guess that on modern CPUs they are much less.
Besides, kdeinit is used mainly to start kded and KIO slaves, but kded alone can be started faster than kdeinit + kded.
As for KIO slaves, they are started from processes that are already linked with many KDE libraries and there is no
much benefit in starting them from kdeinit. So, does it still makes sense to use kdeinit? Regards, Alexander.
