and with that we are back to lets' define slow and don't compare what cannot
be compared.
KWin4 is a compositor, KWin3 isn't. With other words you are comparing Apples
to Oranges. I don't know why you experience a slowness with KWin4 but it's not
supposed to be that way :-) I know the code and everything just got much
faster. I'm sorry that you have bad experiences but I'm quite sure that your
issues could be solved (first step: qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin
supportInformation).

and that matters exactly what to the discussion? You are also aware that Nokia
decided the switch to Windows Phone before the only MeeGo phone got released?
