I disagree.

But the architecture is ok already :-) It's all about implementation 
improvements.

Seriously though, there are no major bottlenecks in KDE. It's just that 
certain actions do really stupid things that wastes a lot of time. Fixing 10 
of such issues can make quite an improvement. And their have been much more 
than 10 of such fixes. But if you use CVS from day to day you don't notice 
because when selecting a new webpage becomes 0.1s faster you will not really 
immediately notice and a week later you will have gotten used to it anyway.

Take for example kdelibs/kio/kio/kservice.cpp r1.150: it gives you back a full 
2 seconds of 2.4Ghz cpu-time during startup.

Cheers,
Waldo
