I did a little research. On my machine with a 32bit system and off 
kdm_greet SAK is at rest, so I have not conducted further observations. 
Much more interesting results but I watched the 64-bit machine.

1. SAK is enabled: The CPU goes to 100%.
2. SAK is enabled: Switching NumLock on a PS/2 keyboard causes the death 
of the keyboard - everywhere - Xorg, console. USB keyboard switching 
NumLock survive fine.
3. SAK is enabled: If during the time between pressing the Ctrl + Alt + 
Delete and SAK display window, I press the Escape, SAK behave strangely. 
For example, dialog Desktop Session Locked remained displayed and next 
pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete keys were ignored. And then kdesktop_lock 
goes to 100%.
4. SAK is disabled: Switching NumLock on a PS/2 keyboard survive fine.
5. SAK is disabled: CPU goes to 20% initially, but with increasing time of 
inactivity increases to 80%.

So I have to confirm the observations from Jiri Jansky - kdm_greet is 
still sick. And SAK from now I consider not only the futility but 
complete stupidity. :)
