Yes, we are still in Phase 2.
As soon as GCC 3.0 compiler is out, there will be a lot of improvements.
At least, I hope so :-))
-AMD-Athlon (Duron) optimizations, for example.
-Multi-threaded QT (and, may be, multi-threaded X)
well it is not connected to GCC 3.0, but will take some time...
-KDE 2.1, while is not a real fix for KDE2, can be treated in this way.
-DOM2 and updated CSS2 specifications released just recently (end of 
September-beg. of October). may be, Konqueror will be the first browser to 
support these latest specs :-) 
Pages developed with CSS2 will be very fast to download and to render on 
display, comparing with traditional TABLE / TR / TD tags.

Konqueror is very good on good, standard-compliant sites. Unfortunately, 99% 
of sites uses non-standard HTML code or some "hacks" :-(
I personaly prefer browser which works, not crashes (like NS or IE)... And 
Konqueror really rocks...
