           Summary: kde 4.0.1 sluggish slow
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.1)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package
OS:                Linux

KDE 4.0.1 on OpenSUSE 10.3 is rather slow, sluggish, whatever. This also happens with other distros (including Arch Linux -- which is even worse performance-wise).

Enabling desktop effects slows things down DRAMATICALLY (about 2-3x slower than normal). Enabling effects also shows desktop artifacts and other strange anomolies (wut?).

Specs:
Intel Pentium 4 1.6 GHZ
GeForce 6600 GT
768 MB RAM

This should be well enough to run KDE 4.0, if it's not.. then you guys need to haul ass and optimize KDE 4.0 (this machine runs Vista Ultimate fine as long as I'm not running several applications at once).
