Sort of. At one point, you could set the sticky bit on files as a hint to the pager to try and keep them in memory, which was intended for things like /bin/sh, cron, login, and maybe libc. Whether it would help in your particular case is harder to say, how much RAM does your machine have, and what kind of CPU? Some people believe that KDE requires excessive resources for what it does, consider fluxbox or something more lightweight... -- -Chuck
