hm, perhaps other factors, like distribution, version of kernel and/or Xorg have something to do with that, as well as compiz and video card/driver. i'm running openSUSE, and at some stage i experienced very sluggish behavior, but could solve that by switching to a newer kernel & Xorg release. now, on openSUSE 11.4 with KDE 4.5 (K:D:F) i don't experience any sluggishness or exorbitant resource consumption.
