The KDE project announces the availability of the third development snapshot of the upcoming KDE 4. This snapshot is meant as a reference for developers who want to play with parts of the new technology KDE 4 will provide, those who want to start porting their applications to the new KDE 4 platform and for those that want to start to develop applications based on KDE 4. This snapshot is not for end users, there is no guarantee that it will be stable, the interfaces are subject to changes at any time.

Maybe these benchmarks will refute the unsubstantiated prejudice that KDE (Qt based) systems are slower than Xfce or GNOME (both DEs are GTK based) based systems.

...and KDE 4 is based on Qt 4.x which is significantly faster than Qt 3.x.
Well, I am talking about the GTK/Qt based systems as whole not the (mostly) subjective felt performance difference between a GTK and Qt based DE. In fact the benchmarks measure first of all just the DE independent performance of the entire system.
