slow kde, why?

hey, I have four systems here.

one, stock fedora. 1.3mhz athlon

two gentoo one dual 1.5mhz athlon one amd64.

The two gentoo systems seem to have a slow kdeinit.

kdeinit doesn't seem to be using a lot of memory but apps tend to take a while coming up, compared with the fedora.

I'm basically asking anyone if they have any ideas where to look or how to help figure this out?

Maybe a difference in the DNS setup. Is the hostname resovlable through /etc/hosts

It is also recommended to have /tmp/.ICE-unix owned by root.root but accessible by all. Perhaps this is different on the Gentoo boxes.

the previous suggestion (making sure the actual host is resolvable in /etc/hosts) worked for this installation whereupon we have 4 machines on a Netgear LAN; the 4 hosts are localhost, localhost2, localhost3, etc., and KDE/Konqueror performance fell dramatically when the host names were changed to the above from the default "localhost". Editing the /etc/hosts file, wherein the hostnames all remained "localhost" to reflect the new names, resulted immediately (after restart) to the normally very fast performance.
