KDE 4.1 is finally here and thus, everyone can go ahead and try it (I recommend doing so) because it is really improved and it does not have that huge amount of bugs and loss of implementations KDE 4.0 had.
If you red my last post about the KDE 4.1 MIRACLE, you'll notice I was speaking about a huge performance impact in processing some events. After much research and tests, I've discovered the cause of this huge performance impact I'll try o explain here in order to help anyone having those issues (specially Gentoo's users, since much of this is about compiling some parts with or without some special feature).
I've discovered two possible causes:

I've discovered two possible causes:
- For NVIDIA users, as is listed in so many sites, read and try: KDE 4 and NVIDIA problems.
- For everyone (specially Gentoo's users): This is really important! Check out that your distro's maintainers or you, compiled strigi with fam and/or inotify features enabled (in Gentoo, check for fam and inotify USE flag being enabled). In my case, just enabling fam and inotify for strigi made my KDE 4.1 trunk far more stable than it was. If it is your case, just add "app-misc/strigi fam inotify" to your /etc/portage/package.use file if you are using portage, or to your /etc/paludis/use.conf if you use paludis, and recompile at least strigi.
To finish, I only can say that now, I can say, and prove that KDE 4.1 is really a miracle for everyone's Desktop!
