That's what I have heard, but I haven't had time to actually measure
that.  Of course, in my experience, KDE4 was slower.  That, and the
glitz.  But, I am going to install it on my laptop today and see what
happens.

At some point, I need to try it on my Wallstreet.  KDE3 was kinda slow
with the G3/266, so if KDE is truly faster, than that would be the
test.

I've also picked up a G4/400 and a G4/533(Digital Audio) system, so
once I get them up and running, I will be able to do more beta testing
of the PPC stuff.
