The KDE 3.2 Beta 2 User Review (OSNews.com)
OSNews test
drives KDE 3.2 Beta. "The first thing you notice when you start
up a few apps is - 'Boy, this is Fast!'. KDE 3.2 is significantly faster
than 3.1, and certainly way faster than Gnome 2.4 on my machine. It reminds
me of the kind of responsiveness that Windows 98 used to give me on this
same configuration few years ago (minus the crashes). Konsole opens up
almost instantaneously, and Konqueror takes only about 3 seconds the first
time. I was afraid that the increase in bloat with every release of KDE
since the 1.x series would one day prevent me from using this computer at
all with KDE. I'm glad the guys over at KDE have so splendidly allayed my
fears." (Found on KDE.News)

The KDE 3.2 Beta 2 User Review (OSNews.com) Posted Jan 16, 2004 15:22 UTC (Fri) by leonscape (guest, #12261) [Link] The speed of 3.2 is pretty amazing. When you combine it with a 2.6preemptible kernel things just fly.
The KDE 3.2 Beta 2 User Review (OSNews.com) Posted Jan 16, 2004 16:21 UTC (Fri) by busterb (subscriber, #560) [Link] I agree. I still get good interactive response when compiling things with -j6 on Kernel 2.6.1 and KDE-3.2. My system load will be > 5 and web-browsing, etc. are definitely usable. This with a PIII-700/512M.If you have any spare boxes lying around, distcc is really good at compiling KDE releases if you can't get binary packages, BTW.
