The only area I experience sluggishness is with Plasma.
Yet on my 8600GTS this helps out:
Option "BackingStore" "true"
KMail itself has bugs unrelated to X that make it still not ready for prime-time.
I'll take Thunderbird of that until perhaps Mailody shows me something worth using over it.
Konqueror scrolling rates are not a problem. Page rendering is dog ass slow.
4GB Ram on a Pentium 940 has OSNews painfully slow to render, yet on Opera 9.5.2 it works smooth [I'm betting this Qt3 vs. Qt4 within KDE4.1.1 has a lot to do with it still needing to be flushed out.]
Not to be outdone, Iceweasel from Sid crashes quite often, even from a clean user config and install ever since 3.x has been released.
With all the new features comes tons of performance regressions and exceptions not accounted for in prior branches.
