I can't really speak for Novell's preload desktop policy - I suppose the
vendor's preferences also come into play - however, we'd welcome efforts
toward optimizing KDE. I don't have much experience with KDE code
myself, though, and the same goes for the others currently involved in
the desktop-end optimization.

So while we'd be interested in optimized KDE packages, our resources are
limited. It's an open project, though, so someone just needs to sign up
and do the work (i.e. ideas, planning, implementation and QA).

There's nothing stopping you from submitting performance fixes directly
to the KDE packages either.
