Okular's launch speed is severely limited by "bookmarks.xml" (which is only about 400 KB on my machine), not by my thousands of docdata files! My ~400 KB bookmarks.xml slows Okular launch speeds down considerably. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Here's some timing information on Okular launches on my Intel core i3 laptop with a ~400 KB bookmarks.xml file: real 0m5.148s user 0m4.702s sys 0m0.090s My ~/.kde/share/apps/okular/ folder is even running on a fast RAM disk. Expected Results: Deleting bookmarks.xml speeds up Okular launching considerably: real 0m1.323s user 0m0.749s sys 0m0.066s Feature request: Why doesn't Okular just store bookmarks in the particular documents' docdata XML files, that way the entire bookmarks.xml doesn't have to be scanned every time Okular launches?
Ouch you have a 400kb bookmarks file? Just out of curiosity how many bookmarks do you have?

I don't remember, but since i never came back to this, i either was not or i got sidetracked by other stuff. Someone needs to check.
