..and IBM 40Gb Travelstar drive. It really is slow. KDE has gotten extremely bloated, which I guess is a side effect of C++.

New Define "bloated"
Or do you mean it meets needs that you no longer have?

"Bloated" is a term bandied around by folk who forget that software is designed to be used by other people, too. What's "bloat" to you is required functionality for other people.

The laptop machine in front of me is:

model name : Mobile Pentium II
stepping : 10
cpu MHz : 366.675
cache size : 256 KB

Total physical RAM: 128 MB. Preferred environment: Window Maker 0.80.1, XFree86 4.2.1.

While Konqueror (installed version = 3.1.0) is no longer my browser of choice (prefer Galeon 1.2.7 or Mozilla Firebird 0.6), it does not have load-time problems, nor is it slow in other ways -- relative to obvious alternatives. Suggest you investigate idiosyncratic problems that might afflict your system.
