I don't have that problem. Even konqueror takes only about 1.5 seconds on the example you gave. xterm opens almost instantaneously. I have a system with specs comparable to yours (celeron 450, 256MB, scsi).
I suspect the problem is that your home directory is being mounted via NFS. I seem to recall others discussing this on kde-devel, but maybe 5-6 months ago.
