If the window manager overloads a 2.4ghz dual core CPU with 4GB RAM, I'd say one needs

overload my CPU when I would push Alt+Tab, and it would take several minutes to actually
switch the windows; of course, I don't know how well it would perform now on 4.7 or
4.8, I keep hearing it's been improving)

Of course, geeks and trolls believe that
everybody should buy
bleeding edge hardware with gobs of RAM and CPU cycles to waste and
just STFU.
One not really needs to have a "bleeding edge hardware" to
run KDE4.
Unless you consider an €250 (without taxes) ultra-low-end box from 2004
being bleeding edge.
