It doesn't :-). There's currently a lot of gradients being drawn that 
should be pixmap-cached instead (this is high on my to-do list as it's 
bothering me also). And we basically haven't made any attempts yet at 
performance tuning. It may be that oxygen in 4.0 will not be usable on 
low-end machines for this reason (I hope not, but given the available 
manpower...).

I don't think we need to do anything that extreme. Tuning should help 
quite a bit; there is a lot we can cut out for low-end machines. If that 
can't be done in 4.0, maybe we don't have oxygen as default in 4.0, but 
that's much better than no oxygen at all in 4.0.
