Yes, that is true, but in the context of this thread it is not a real factor. A person stated that GNOME should be slower than KDE because it is written in C. Why would an application written in C (GNOME/GTK) be slower than an application written in C++(KDE/QT). In my experience, I have seen applications written in an interpretive language run faster than comparable apps written in C, but assuming that both sets of code are reasonably well written, C++ should be a bit slower because of 2 factors (C++ has more code, and C++ compilers cannot optimize as well as C compilers yet).
