I'm sorry I can't help you, but I feel the same about Red Hat's KDE.

I want to pinpoint that KDE support in Red Hat is a no-go. Not only KDE
feels slower than GNOME, but RedHat's KDE is much slower than SuSE's
KDE, for example. Dragging a window in Red Hat's KDE has a considerable
lag, window movement is not smooth and there is a delay since the user
drags the window and the window starts moving. I thought it was related
to 2.6 kernels and scheduler changes by Con Kolivas, but this is
reproducible with 2.4 kernels too.

All those problems can't be reproduce in SuSE 8.2. In fact, I have been
forced to moved my laptop from Red Hat Linux to SuSE Linux. I love KDE,
and I find Red Hat's KDE deceptive.

I hope this will be fixed in a future release...
