After some more testing, it's obvious that the "slowness" and locking up of the 11.1b5 KDE 4.1 desktop is either the Intel video driver or problems in "x"....I suspect the later.

As in my 11.1B5 review post, I can't put my finger on the problem, but I notice it. Especially when working with KDE control center.
I assumed the subsystem, being "x" because there are the same problems on systems with other video than Intel.

I have an nvidia 8800GT and I saw it with the fbdev (frame buffer), nv and nvidia drivers. I still see it with the graphics system fully configured and the graphics performance under 11.1 is 50% what it is under 11.0 kde3. On 11.1 Beta 5 I get:
21:13 arete~> glxgears 20919 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4183.754 FPS 22198 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4439.556 FPS 21181 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4236.142 FPS
I get over 10,000 FPS in 10.3 and over 9,000 FPS in 11.0. There is something wrong with the Graphics subsystem.
I get: glxgears 288 frames in 5.0 seconds = 57.550 FPS 260 frames in 5.0 seconds = 51.903 FPS 300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.883 FPS 300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.878 FPS 300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.883 FPS
This on a Centrino dual-core at 2Gh and 2G RAM. Ridiculous.

Of course it is. You aren't using the "nvidia" but the standard "nv" driver in xconf. Download the latest 177.82 driver from nVidia and compile it against the kernel you are using.
