I've only used 3.3.5 and 4.0. I haven't done any benchmarks, as my
"major" X apps are XEmacs and gimp/xv. I'm also using 4.0 in 24-bit
mode, whereas I used 3.3.5 in 16-bit mode; this can make it difficult to
compare. I haven't noticed any real slowdowns, except when exiting KDE:
graying out the entire screen takes a couple seconds and is very
noticeably slower. Still, I'm quite happy with 4.0.
