The preemptive kernel patch by Robert Love and the Low-Latency by Alan Cox (if 
my memory serves me right). I highly doubt this would attribute to better 
'performance' since these patches will only make the kernel (seem) more 
responsive under load.

I've done some stresstesting (although not with KDE) and in 'raw performance' 
it was even a tad SLOWER than the stock 2.4.20 kernel.
