I followed the suggestion of the upstream bug report. * I created a new user and logged in (35 seconds). * Launch konsole and stop plasma with kquitapp plasma (0seconds) * Start plasma from the terminal (16 seconds) * remove folderview stop and start plasma (14 seconds) * I get nearly a 1 second improve for each plasmoid removed from the pannel except the "device notifier" plasmoid (12s -> 4s) * plasma with no pannels and no plasmoids takes 1s to start * added the device notiffier to the desktop and restart plasma (9s) in this last case I also get he following errors on the command line:
