ok, so you seem to have suffered from the often reported video driver issue 
with kde4 :)
fine, it works now ok.
anyways, here is another issue: I have a simple, built in intel graphics 
system, which never had those issues, and although having turned off all 
desktop effects/fancy stuff, kde4 is still not as snappy/responsive as 3.5.
as said: I'll wait for qt 4.5 and then check again.
