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 1.0. There is something wrong with the Graphics subsystem.
This issue may very well be a KDE4 issue. I decided to load KDE3 tonight to triage the jilted system and, on a lark, recalled the glxgears issue so I decided to test with glxgears. The differences were startling to say the least. All I did was install KDE3 on the exact same machine and log into KDE3 and then start glxgears; I was shocked at the differences in the frame rates for the same hardware and with the desktop being the only difference. The KDE4 numbers are above. Now,here are the frame rates from KDE3: 01:08 arete~> glxgears 31248 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6237.533 FPS 30700 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6139.998 FPS 29088 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5817.566 FPS 29807 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5953.829 FPS 29799 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5956.565 FPS 29687 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5930.866 FPS A full 30+% faster than the frame rates seen under KDE4 -- David C.
