KWin4 is a compositor, KWin3 isn't. With other words you are comparing Apples
to Oranges. I don't know why you experience a slowness with KWin4 but it's not
supposed to be that way :-) I know the code and everything just got much
faster. I'm sorry that you have bad experiences but I'm quite sure that your
issues could be solved (first step: qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin
supportInformation).
and that matters
exactly what to the discussion? You are also aware that Nokia
decided the switch to Windows Phone before the only MeeGo phone got released?

So let's
start with: how do you test that Qt 4 is slower than Qt 3? What's
your test, where can I get the source to verify it?
The same old diskussion, and it will not lead to a solution. As neither KDE
nor TDE or any other DE offers a test suit the user is up to his/her
personal impression.
Some months ago (was it last year? time flyes ...) you suggested tde to
switch to kwin4 and drop kwin3.5. Well, I tried it and posted my results.
It's like walking in tar. Just install TDE, change the WM to kwin4 and
start working. You could do as I did, set up 2 identical maschines next to
each other (I'd suggest you use Intel or Nvidia gc - X61 in my case) and
make a one by one comparsion. Just as a small reminder: do you really think
that can be the case? Qt 4
got trimmed to run on smartphones - I have a few of those (e.g. the N9 and
the N950, also used to have a Symbian device) and they would love to have
the specs of your X61. Given that Nokia invested lots of money in that
area, do you really think the engineers would not have realized that Qt 3
was faster, look at that code and make better use of it in Qt 4?
And Nokia is still the rising star of smartphone universe ;-)
