I just checked again, it is still working. I'm liking that I can watch

I also have good news to report. I upgraded to Qt 4.7.0 and my xserver is a
reformed character! It sits and chugs away at 1.0% CPU like it used to with
Qt/KDE 3.5. No other graphics related packages were updated at the same
time, so it's definitely Qt which made the difference.
So I wasn't imagining things :-)
I noticed the same and it seems even a bit better with the very latest
qt-4.7.1. Some time ago I read a blog post about KDE and plasma, where stuff
will be rewritten for kde-4.6. I can't find it now, it might have been on
kde.org, slashdot or even the gentoo planet but it was by that Aaron fellow.
He also said that there were speedups possible in Qt as well.
Seems like we are now getting some of that benefit.
Well, I'm on qt-4.7 so I guess I got that already. I have noticed that
KDE is getting a little faster tho. I guess they are tightening up the
code a bit.
I did a test just then and my video was slow again. This is what I get
now.

So, looks like emerge -e world didn't help after all. So what should I
check now? Do I need to get my hammer out?
