Phoronix: KDE 4.2 Answers The Needs Of End-Users

A year after KDE 4.0 was released (with celebrations at the Google Plex) and six months after releasing KDE 4.1, the K Desktop Environment has now reached a new milestone. KDE 4.2 "The Answer" has been released, which the K Desktop Environment community is confident will even be able to satisfy the needs of normal non-technical end-users...

So wait for 4.3?

Sorry I couldn't resist. I'll be trying 4.2 with the next point release of my favorite distribution. KDE 3.5 will still be an option, Gnome not so much. I'm hoping for 4.2

You can also wait for 5.0 :P

I have to say I'm not impressed by the performance. Even without compositing it's hardly usable. This is on two machines less than a year old with core2 duo processesors and 3GB of ram.

I figure there must be something wrong here, but there doesn't appear to be. GNOME runs plenty fast, even with the compositor. Why is KDE so slow?
