this sounds really suspicious to me. I've got a 7.2 system running on a PIII 700 Dell w/128MB that boots pretty fast (haven't actually clocked it, but probably 1-2 minutes from power on to X). What does the load average from "top" look like on the command line? What does it look like from within your KDE session?
Remember that whatever privations you suffer in boot time will be more than made up for in your uptime. XP has nothing on RH stability!
