For "official" kate plugins IMHO we should. We need to optimize for any  
kind of kate part embedding.

Might not be a bad idea. Other parts (not kate) are really rare and for  
them the old code could be ok.

I don't have a profile anymore, but I remember conclusion. There wasn't an  
obvious performance problem
in the code. It's just there was too much processing. And in view  
switching, tenths of milliseconds matter.
