KDE 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.

All you have done is give examples of Desktop Environments not have such issues. Yes great analysis and in-depth benchmarking and review.

You make assumptions that it's slow so it must be the Desktop Environment and your only proof is that the other Desktops Environments are smoother?

Where is your proof?, your own experience mean nothing when making such harsh statements against KDE/Qt.

"However, now that you mention it... your arguments all seem to be theoretical."

Really? I guess all of those complaints about the NVIDIA 17X.x series driver being so slow and then NVIDIA actually fixing it were theoretical.

2D performance is still a issue to people in Linux, and the Desktop Environments adding workarounds and hacks is more proof if you need it.
