Starting settings takes about 45sec before a window appears. Is there a way to speed this up?

Depends on why it’s slow. On my machine:

└─➜ time plasma-open-settings                                                                                                                                                                                                                       11:03 Sat 08-Aug

Under a hundred millis here so I would guess you need to determine what it’s doing when it takes 450 times longer to start.

strace -f -tt -T -o ~/trace.log plasma-open-settings will tell you precisely what is happening and how long each thing takes. I can supply mine if you want to diff the two.
