dcop is not a daemon?

Feature request: My mailwatcher script is calling dcop from the hard drive for every incoming mail, and my putting a set -x in the top of it, then watching the output trace, shows a quite large lag in its doing that. But I see no daemon launcher in /etc/init.d. It seems to me that if dcop were a memory resident process like dbus is, the HD would be spared that that access, and the response time would be 2% of what it is now. If this version of kmail in R14.0.4 can use a dbus feed too, that problem is solved by my changing one var in the top of my script. Does anyone know? I ask because if I switch it, and it doesn't work, the dbus buffer gets stuffed and it takes a reboot to fix that, a dbus restart doesn't seem to re-init it. BTDT, several times. Thanks.
