Yes, it seems likely that it will run slower on slower machines. Not a big 
suprise there. But given that processer speeds are doubling every 2 minutes, 
and the fact that one can easily turn it off, and the fact that we provide an 
explicit step in kpersonalizer for exactly such purposes, this is a 
non-issue.

Yes, I'm sure there are volumes and volumes direly in need of this update.

No need for another one; just put Keramik somewhere on the high end of the 
eye-candy-o-meter.
