Hi all:
Recent experience with KDE crash made me readup more about KDE.
Found this interesting link on KDE which talks about performance.
Here are some things being discussed.
. Don't try to optimize too much
. A fast system makes KDE run fast
. Do not use obsolete versions
. Reducing number of running applications
. Removing applications from the Autostart folder
. Removing docked applications (in systray)
. Alarm daemon and KOrganizer alarm client
. Artsd
. KXKB
. Reducing startup time
* KDE startup sound
* The KDE splashscreen
* Konqueror reusing
* Konqueror preloading
* Scanning for Netscape plugins
* Directory prescanning in KDM
* Faster startup of KDE applications outside of KDE
* Turning off system configuration startup check (kbuildsycoca)
. Various KDE settings
* Desktop background
* Disabling various eye-candy features
* Antialiasing
. Not really KDE things but worth checking anyway
* /tmp/.ICE-unix
* DMA for disk access
* Problems with hostname resolution
Take a look at

thanks
