4.2.90 is "KDE 4.3 beta 2", and it's called a beta for a reason. i hope you've 
reported the crashes you have encountered, as we've been fixing them as they 
roll in so that 4.3.0 will be nice and stable.

as for performance, there's any number of reasons that could be. you could 
start with some testing various components to try and track down where the 
problem(s) are.

but if you want a super stable experience, don't run betas. it's really that 
simple.

if you'd like to help us make stable releases, run betas and report issues as 
they arise.

appearance is not all we're working on. not by FAR. it's not even the bulk of 
what we're working on.
