Maybe you don't understand the way KDE works. Let me shed some light here.
KDE 2.x doesn't start slower then GNOME, for intsance, and it brings up
enough processes to support whatever could possibly be loaded afterwards
from the KDE suite. All those processes, though memory consumers, are
intended to speed up app loading (only for ones that come with KDE).
Loading and unloading means lost time, so the processes are only fired up
once, on startup, and then "recycled".
Those processes become useless if, for example, Konqueror, si started from
say... twm or any other window manager and not from within the KDE
desktop.

Opera is a good little browser, and now it even supports Java. Try it.
It's also much faster then Netscape.
