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.
+1 or if possible +10 The slowness of kde4 killed it for me immediatly. May be it can be tuned, but, thank you, I'm not interested in making a usable machine usable again after installing kde4. Anecdotal evidence but: Installed 12.1 standard on a few years old laptop as an emergency measure for a "used-to-windows" user a few days ago. Rumors of great usability of kde4 let me choose that DE for a windows user. Couldn't believe how much slower (read: unbearable) it was compard to a no-nonsense LXDE on the same machine. Btw: That "used-to-windows" user enjoyed a bare bone lxde very much for her basic computing needs without any further assistance.
