hrm... i'm no sure what this has to do with KC KDE, will we be seeing 
summaries from Casey in the future? only time will tell! ;-)

yes, html in KDE3 is as fast as IE on 2k according to my rather subjective 
observations. KDE2 was slower, though not horribely slower. the biggest 
problem was in going back/forward to pages you had already visited. but even 
then IE still was faster on certain pages. KHTML in KDE3 seems to close this 
gap quite comfortably. =)

start up time is still an issue, but that is a gcc issue. there are lots of 
little tuning/tweaking tips to get KDE running better on slower systems (like 
the "Minimize memory usage always" Konqueror option, and 
--enable-fast-malloc=full in kdelibs) ...
