kpersonalizer is a wizard-style application. As Eric already said, the 
second page (the Eye-Candy-O-Meter :-) is mainly the part about 
performance vs effects. The program detects the cpu-speed and availability 
of the RENDER-extension in XFree and sets the "effects-slider" to an 
(hopefully) appropriate value. With 200MHz CPUs it will default to level 
5, if RENDER is available, else it will default to 1.
If people apply level 5 and afterwards find their desktop to slow, you 
should advice them them to restart the "Desktop Settings Wizard" and set 
the slider to the lowest level.
It might also be a little more performant to set the Desktop-style to "KDE 
Classic" on the next page.

have fun,
Carsten.
