Actually, I dont have the same experience. I have used KDE on my reeeeally slow laptop (after Gnome 3 was introduced), and it has been going very smooth thus far. I have been able to work on the machine with no more "slowness" than when using Gnome 3.

I really enjoy KDE now, although it took me a couple of short days to adjust I must admit.
