+1 or if possible +10 

The slowness of kde4 killed it for me immediatly.
May be it can be tuned, but, thank you, I'm not interested
in making a usable machine usable again after installing kde4.

Anecdotal evidence but:

Installed 12.1 standard on a few years old laptop as an emergency
measure for a "used-to-windows" user a few days ago. Rumors of great
usability of kde4 let me choose that DE for a windows user.

Couldn't believe how much slower (read: unbearable) it was compard to a
no-nonsense LXDE  on the same machine.

Btw: That "used-to-windows" user enjoyed a bare bone lxde very much for
her basic computing needs without any further assistance.
