KDE 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.

Benchmarks or no, in all my experience with Linux across many different machines of varying performance, Qt is ALWAYS snappier than GTK+. KDE may take longer to load, but once it has, it's not slow to use. Even on my ATI x300, there is still some slowness and non-snappiness with GTK+ based applications. But Qt applications are very responsive and redraw much faster than GTK+ ones (although I do use 2d compositing built-in to KDE, so redraw is no longer an issue, really).
