Hi, I just installed a fresh copy of Mandrake 9.1 with KDE 3.1 and had this same problem. When logged in as a user applications took about 10 seconds to load. If I su'ed to root (sudo or su -) the same applications loaded nearly instantly. I added the ip address and host name to the dns system and the problems went away... now just to see what happens when I go home and login... I added both the forward and reverse address btw.
