I'm not Duncan but I have 5 reasons not to switch to kde4 atm.
1) Speed: I have a AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+ with
8GB of ram and a Radeon HD 3600 card but still kde 4.3 most of the time
feels like walking through mud.
turn of composite or install a xorg-server with the
fedora_dont_backfill_bg_none.patch and see kde fly.
...and see it produce a crapload of artifacts during window and menu
opening. Still better than a slow as molasses GUI though.
In any event though, that's hardly KDE's fault anyway. It's the crappy
Catalyst drivers from AMD (I suffer the same issues).
or from a bad decision by the xorg devs to punish everybody for crappy intel
hardware.
Only Catalyst has this problem. The open source Radeon drivers are fine
(and of course NVidia's closed drivers and everything Intel is fine
too). It's one of those Catalyst bugs that are there for several years
but one bothers fixing.
