Of course there was a refactoring round/release of KDE3 at some point if I recall correctly. Perhaps it's time for a cleanup in the KDE4 codebase?
my experience with KDE 4.1 - 3 is that it's gotten a lot more efficient recently. kwin & plasma used to run away with my CPU frequently, but that's a lot better now.
Though I suspect certain prominent KDE4 plasma devs will forge on with so much new code for 4.4 that we'll all be swimming in CPU quagmire for the forseaable future, sadly.
no experience with 4.4 yet; according to aron seigos blog http://aseigo.blogspot.com/ they're putting effort into keeping it civil. according to my experience with plasma so far, i have no reason to doubt him.
Bottom line? KDE4: Uses less RAM (which nobody cares about)
well, people who run machines with 512 MB do...
uses more CPU (which everyone cares about)
