Not exactly in this context, but it may be the same problem. Depending on 
your configuration, KDE starts a couple of programs, e.g. autorun. This 
polls the CD drive to find out whether the user put in a CD. When there is 
no CD it takes a while for the driver to time-out. I had the feeling that 
interrupts are blocked during this period. Try putting a CD in your drive, 
and test if the problem goes away. Also, look in ~/.kde/Autostart and 
remove everything that you don't need. Using low-latency patched kernel 
may also help.
