Ok, here we go to be fair, i rebooted the system for the Gnome test and then rebooted into KDE for a fresh start too
Gnome:
First instance on a fresh system then closed firefox $ time firefox No running windows found real 0m10.639s user 0m1.909s sys 0m0.144s
Second start, this time i guess some stuff was cached $ time firefox No running windows found real 0m2.334s user 0m1.821s sys 0m0.129s
Second instance of firefox (from second start) $ time firefox
real 0m0.394s user 0m0.020s sys 0m0.029s
KDE:
First instance on a fresh system then closed firefox $ time firefox No running windows found real 0m11.911s user 0m1.915s sys 0m0.199s
Second start $ time firefox No running windows found real 0m2.452s user 0m1.878s sys 0m0.126s
Second instance of firefox (from second start) $ time firefox
real 0m0.433s user 0m0.030s sys 0m0.015s
so it seems that Gnome may be quicker...
but then again...to give KDE the benefit of the doubt. Gnome basically is a fresh install never played with...I use kde constantly, so it has my window decrations, my desktop, my themes, my apps running etc...so i guess there is more stuff going on in my kde than a fresh kde install.
And i dont know if fixing whatever i did to the graphics would make both a little quicker as well

Well if you want to do any tests...name them, and ill run them.
I understand you ran firefox on KDE to get your results.
Are you able to run firefox on GNOME to get similar statistics ?
Do not change anything else, please, just the desktop.
Thanks.
