Version: 0.12.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux I think its almost all in title: when I load kopete in beginning, it takes much over 1 min to load although I have a Pentium M 1500. I don't know if its because of much contacts (over 200) or because of a history getting larger and larger - if I can test this somehow I would do. Sometimes kopete even crashes while loading - without any signal, so no KDE crash manager.
It could be a plugin: Disable plugins until you find the one that is (perhaps) slowing it down.
