Did you look at
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE#Troubleshooting ? It has
solutions for bad performance of KDE4. Personally I make no trick of
this kind and didn't find KDE4 slow with anything better than my 1,2 GHz
Athlon box (except if KWin desktop effects are activated, but they're
optional). And even with this Athlon system KDE4 remains usable, just a
bit sluggish.
To the users here: please don't bash KDE4
itself when the
discussion is revolving around kwin. ;-) Keep things on topic--if
there are aspects of kwin4 you can't stand please bring them up
politely and ask for them to be resolved. It is quite possible
that upstream can be more responsive than TDE due to more developer
resources; what we will need to gauge is upstream's openness to our
suggestions.
correct.
however, it is clear that there _are_ serious disagreements on how
to best provide a 'kde 3.5 computing style' to users.
martin, e.g., claims that all what is needed for that would be to
port kicker
+ kdesktop from kde 3.5 to kde4, but it is not:
- kde 4 performance/responsiveness on some older hardware is
absolutely poor, thats simply a fact - the kde 3.5 experience does also consist of the
simplicity/robustness/maintainability (from user's perspective) of
applications
- this means: no nepomuk, no local database server, no
akonadi, no virtuoso, just plain text data/config files (and no, I
don't want to discuss the pros and cons of these components, its just
the fact that they can no longer be disabeled without losing basic
functionality)
Since KDE maintains binary and source compatibility within major
releases nothing should stop you from using kdepim 4.4.10 with any KDE
4.(4+), which doesn't need Akonadi to work.
there is more, of course, but it should be clear that what trinity
wants to provide (and is supposed to) just cannot be achieved by
simply porting 2 applications.
