I just got my SuSE 9.2 Pro DVD yesterday and did a fresh install with all the YOU updates on a P4 1.80GHz with 512 MB RAM. I had been running 9.1.
The install went smoothly but starting KDE was horrible. It took around 10 minutes.

I've had to make sure that powersaved was running properly on my system to avoid that type of behavior. Also check (via right click, Configure) suseplugger in the systray area. I had to make sure that Directly Start Application and Start Applications At Login and Do Active Polling were all off to get decent system response times.
One thing to try is to reset your YaST time slices and use the 'desktop' setting in your grub/lilo boot settings. Without desktop in mine, my system crawls. Others on the list report exactly opposite behavior for their systems.
As they say YMMV, Stan
powersaved is running. What do you mean by running properly? Is there some configuration that needs to be changed? I've had suseplugger completely disabled. I did set the time slice stuff to 'desktop'. Everything was twice as slow before that. I don't see anything about desktop stuff in the bootloader configuration. It boots just fine so I don't see how that could matter. It's just KDE that's misbehaving. Jason ===========
