Description e3k 2011-01-07 15:10:01 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.4) 
OS:                Linux

i am watching the file /var/log/messages which is now 35MB big.

the startup takes after login ~25-35 sec. when the widget is removed its about 5 sec.

file watch is obviously reading the whole file instead of doing something like tail.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
watch a big file and restart your pc. after login press ctrl-alt-F1 and check what is consuming your CPU.

Actual Results:  
slow startup of kde.

Expected Results:  
quicker start.
