I can turn all the effects on and the system is still lightening. I really don't think that KDE should limit itself to the lowest common denominator. Also as others have said previously it can run fine on lesser machines. I will add that KDE 3.0 rans faster for me that KDE 2.2. I am sure that improvements in the Kernel and compiler have something to do with this, but the system is still faster than what the user running KDE 2.2 a year ago would experience. KDE 3.1 is faster than 3.0, so it looks like things are actually improving with regard to speed. I encourage KDE to keep improving the system as they have done so amazingly well in the past year.
