Again, probably talking out of my butt, but it looks like kate is based off of kwrite (if you look at the online help, there are a lot of "thanks to foo kwrite developer" in there). So I think the split is: kedit == textpad while kate == kde version of gvim. At least on my system kedit starts a lot quicker that kate does, so it must be doing *something* more :-). D.A.Bishop P.S. I'm CC:ing the list in case anyone else has your problem. One less person bugging Ivan about something is one step closer to having a happy maintainer *grin*
