http://adymo.blogspot.com –
It is so good to see that a lot of work during KDE4 development went into improving the quality of the user experience.

We will definitely see even more performance improvements in the future.

This is not possible for docks like Avant Window Navigator which depends on compositing manager (such as Compiz) to function.
