During startup KDE needs to perform a check of its system configuration (mimetypes, installed applications, etc.), and in case the configuration has changed since the last time, the system configuration cache (KSyCoCa) needs to be updated. This option delays the check, which avoid scanning all directories containing files describing the system during KDE startup, thus making KDE startup faster. However, in the rare case the system configuration has changed since the last time, and the change is needed before this delayed check takes place, this option may lead to various problems (missing applications in the K Menu, reports from applications about missing required mimetypes, etc.). Changes of system configuration mostly happen by (un)installing applications. It is therefore recommended to turn this option temporarily off while (un)installing applications.
Durante o inicio, KDE precisa facer unha comprobación da configuración do sistema (tipos mime, programas instalados, etc.) e no caso de que a configuración mudara desde a anterior vez, a caché da configuración do sistema (KSyCoCa) precisa anovarse. Esta opción retarda a procura, o que evita examinar ao inicio de KDE todos os directorios que conteñan ficheiros que describan o sistema, axilizando así o inicio. Porén, nos raros casos nos que a configuración do sistema mudara desde a última vez, e o cambio sexa preciso antes de que esta comprobación retardada teña lugar, esta opción podería traer varios problemas (programas que non se atopan no Menú K, informes de programas nos que se requiren algúns tipos mime etc.). Os cambios na configuración do sistema case sempre ocorren ao (des) instalar programas, é polo tanto recomendado ter esta opción desactivada temporalmente mentres se (des) instalen programas.
