The KDE team has released KDE 4.3. This release comes packed with improvements and bug fixes - in fact, over the last six months, 10000 bugs were squashed, 2000 feature requests handled, and 63000 changes were checked in by 700 people. We've already talked about this new release in quite some detail last week, but let's take a look at the most important new features anyway.

So you're making the assumption that other Desktop Environments work smoother based on what exactly?
They have better 2D redraw performance because of what? You think the drivers are optimally performing their function?
It's a known fact that the Linux graphics stack is pretty poor, that's why toolkits such as GTK+ work around graphics bugs or don't even touch Xorg features. The NVIDIA driver issue I've pointed to in my previous post is a prime example, look at the Intel drivers and ATI ones, poor across the board. Intel even have their own acceleration method now, how many acceleration methods are their now that still don't give ideal rendering performance?, XAA, EXA.
