Stay serious, Compiz is 20 times more performant than this KDE 4 thing and has 10 times better effects.

20 times, 10 times ... speaking of staying serious, how about you tried to lead the way?

20 times is the sad reality.
I don't know why.

10 times is subjective impression.

And KDE 4 is 30 times better integrated in KDE :) Some of Compiz's effects are also over-kill.

KWin4 is a game *giggles* but yes :)

(You're looking for KWin Composite ;) )

Not any more - KWin4 the game was renamed to KFourInLine in order to prevent this clash :)

"Stay serious, Compiz is 20 times more performant than this KDE 4 thing and has 10 times better effects."

What on Earth do you think Compiz [Fusion] or Beryl were like when they first started? It's also not being developed as part of a desktop project though, but rather as a separate window manager. Additionally, there are also a lot of corner cases and situations where Compiz doesn't work well, which negates its usage as a day-to-day window manager - no matter how it performs or how many effects it has.

And KWin is a 50x better Window Manager than Compiz, which really is its primary function right???

I am serious. Kwin performs fine for me (Geforce 7900 something) and the effects are nicer (present windows+filter, switching desktops, show desktops, etc). Compiz (0.6.2) had lots of issues with window placement, and weird bugs like wobbly windows never stopping to wobble. The only thing that I miss from Compiz is a zoom function that can be controlled with the mousewheel (the zoom in Kwin doesn't work for me).
