Part 4: Conclusions:

Overall, even with its faults, KDE 3.2 is the fastest Desktop 
Environment that I have used. It's much faster than Gnome 2.4 or XFCE 4. 
In terms of productivity, it beats the crap out of even Windows XP. Of 
course, readers must take these conclusions with a whole fistful of 
salt, because this is from the point of view of someone who a.) is a 
Linux and Windows power user; is comfortable with both, and b.) has used 
both KDE and Gnome extensively right from their earliest versions. I 
cannot speak for the newbies, because it's been quite some time since I 
could call myself one. If you use Linux as your primary OS, and have 
some experience using KDE or Gnome, I'd strongly recommend you to take 
the plunge (even with this beta) right away! As the name of the 
once-popular Office suite for BeOS goes, GoBe Productive!

This is not the first time I've read a piece touting the speed of KDE 
3.2. Perhaps certain list members' prejudice against KDE because of it 
being bloated and slow will be revised to it just being bloated...
