//but IMHO dolphin is faster than konky//
What version of KDE?
I defy you to come up with a noticeable, measurable speed difference in the latest versions of KDE (3.5.4 or later).
Put it this way ... on my PCLinuxOS test 2007 system, which uses KDE 3.5.6, Konqueror is the fastest program to come up of all. It comes up quicker than kcalc!

I know konqueror has many more features than dolphin ( i USE konky)but IMHO dolphin is faster than konky
The modular way Konqueror are bulilt gives you the added features without decreased preformance. So having less fetures does not make Dolphin any faster. Neither does having a more spartan interface, even if some may think so. On the other side Konqueror have seen years of optimization and speed improvments, oposed to the new and unproven code base of Dolphin.

Dolphin leaves .dolphin files everywhere it goes.
It is fast, but it is no faster than Konqueror.
Konqueror supports multiple panes, and tabs, and it has embedded viewers (including html and pdf), and it can access external filesystems such as nfs:// smb:// sftp:// and ftp://
Konqueror is neater than Dolphin, way more powerful than Dolphin, and just as fast as Dolphin.
