I wouldn't count on it. KDE 4 won't be an 800 pound gorilla, but it won't be very fast either. They sure benefit from the new Qt, but they also add a lot of features. Take Kstars as a nice example. Sure, drawing a line in Qt3 is slower than drawing one in Qt4. But Kstars also uses the new anti-aliasing in Qt4, thus you're comparing a normal, cheap, jagged line in Qt3 with a heavy anti-aliased line in Qt4. MAYBE the second one will be faster, but it's more likely it'll be slower. This goes for many parts of KDE.
Sure, KDE will be fast, for what it offers. Like it always has been. But it might not be faster than KDE 3.
Of course, nothing is set in stone, and KDE 4.1 will most likely see a lot of optimisation.
