Re: Embedding external parts into KDE

I totally agree.

More over, Speed of kde2 is the same as win98 on my system.

The only slow thing is XFree86 V4.01 (Frame buffer is realy slow)

On thing to improve performace (if you own a very very very old obsolete computer ;-) ) is to choose a simple styles just like windows (without pixmaps).

Functionnality is very important (IMHO), because it is a race to functionnality. If you quit the race, then peoples moves to the concurents.

I've heard the same things between MUI and BGUI under Amiga (MUI is to KDE what BGUI is to GNOME) People using 7MHz 68000 expected high drawing speed with fancy bitmaps (they said that it was slower than the standard system (plain colors) and thus, that that was inacceptable! )
Maybe peoples could ask for high speed on 80386SX16 VGA systems?

I think this attitude is stupid.

The most important thing is an API that allow high developpement speed. That is the most important thing.

at KDE2: This model (C++, Qt, And mode) allowed koffice in one year and lots of applications in few weeks.

The only slow thing is XFree86 V4.01 (Frame buffer is realy slow) Not getting involved in the argument, but I actually thought X 4.0.1 was rather zippy (especially compared with X 3.3.X), but then again, I'm not using Frame Buffer
