Odd, which distro are you using ? Did you compile the kde in the wrong way... in about 10hrs ? Try to search the kde-lists... you might find something. I do not know about any such arch specific problems. kmail may take about 2sec to start. For your present config ...it is very possible to compile from sources. Distro specific performance : KDE is usually fastest on slackware. A. Mani Member, Cal. Math.
