Dolphin is slow to start being installed on an ssd with a recent notebook: $ dolphin kf5.kio.core: Refilling KProtocolInfoFactory cache in the hope to find "stash" org.kde.dolphin: Ignore KIO url: QUrl("timeline:/today") org.kde.dolphin: Ignore KIO url: QUrl("timeline:/yesterday") org.kde.dolphin: Ignore KIO url: QUrl("timeline:/thismonth") org.kde.dolphin: Ignore KIO url: QUrl("timeline:/lastmonth") org.kde.dolphin: Ignore KIO url: QUrl("search:/documents") org.kde.dolphin: Ignore KIO url: QUrl("search:/images") org.kde.dolphin: Ignore KIO url: QUrl("search:/audio") org.kde.dolphin: Ignore KIO url: QUrl("search:/videos") qt.accessibility.core: Cannot create accessible child interface for object: PlacesView(0x55d5fabb80c0) index: 5 kf5.kio.core: KSambaShare: Could not find smb.conf!

I think this is probably related to KSambaShare. If you do create a smb.conf, is the startup still so slow?
This patch [1] will alleviate this somewhat (fix the "Refilling cache in hope to find" message) [1] https://cgit.kde.org/kio.git/commit/?id=a9625a3be6b18d92ce92b277c279160fdd625c0e
I did try to make several different configs in a few directories, it didn't help.
I did a ton of profiling Dolphin startup lately and found a couple of places that slow it down. Some patches are already merged and some are pending review. Most notably https://phabricator.kde.org/D11283 and https://cgit.kde.org/solid.git/commit/?id=3b642556c2039fac6443c4b956c66ff176f65f15
