It's a small executable which is started when KDE starts, and which links to a bunch of the bigger KDE libs (Qt, kdecore, kdeui, kio). Then you can tell kdeinit to start a kde application by forking, then loading a shared library which contains a kdeinit_main(), and calls this kdeinit_main(). This saves startup time since the symbols of the libs have already been resolved when kdeinit started. AFAIK it also saves some memory.
