I suspect that you were looking at KDE 4.0 or 4.1. When you get the
chance to play with KDE 4.4 (or later) then _please_ either start a
thread on the difficulties and CC me, or just write to me directly.
Alternatively, you could file the bus yourself here:
http://bugs.kde.org

Thanks!

I suspect tht you may have been loading Qt3 libraries as well. On my
2006-era Dell Inspiron (2 GB RAM, some slow dual-core Intel processor)
KDE 4 is very responsive. Same on most other machines that I've tried,
including the wife's old AMD Duron that is a pig.

It doesn't matter if it is few, so long as there is even one then the
Qt3 libraries are being loaded.
