Please be productive and explain what you can do with KDE3 that you can't do with KDE4.
KD4 is terrible slow. Also all these useless background stuff (akonadi, nepomuk, mysql, knotify4, etc.) consumes a lot CPU which I want to use for other things or at least avoid to save energy. Dont't need much desktop functionality but a snappy window manager. The only real KDE3 applications I am using are konsole and kmail. Compare their speed vs. their KDE4 successors! Even small things like klauncher (ALT+F2) is IMO useless slow on KDE4 (completion seems to be slower than typing manually). Another thing is that KDE4 somehow produces a lot more I/O load. I always note this when our NFS servers are on heavy load but nobody of our users notices that except the KDE4 users. This is BTW the reason why we have only one KDE4 user left :) The others are using KDE3, enlightenment or IceWM. BTW this bug is also a major point why our users don't like KDE4 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158606 It is also present in KD3 but in KDE4 it got 1000 times worse. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
