Anders: can you try this and, if successful, report on PPC performance?)
Compiled fine (didn't try the patch, but the "manual" approach) with QT4.3 snapshot (20070422) and a current svn version of LyX (rev 17952). Text and floats seem snappier to me in a reasonably large document (some 30 pp with figures). Typing in LyX-notes are still slow, but seem faster than with 4.2.3. Dialogues (e.g. Preferences are rather slow (I see a "beach ball" for a short time on my machine), but I don't think slower than before. A strange thing is that the running text is in sans-serif (the document is a Koma-script article, so the headers are expected to be in sans-serif), but I don't know if that is my configuration, qt or LyX. Setting to Times New Roman in the preferences gives the expected appearance, whereas specifying Times gives a sans-serif font. I posted a copy at http://www.charmec.chalmers.se/temp/ LyX15_QT43PPC.zip if someone likes to play around (slow internet- connection here, so it won't be fully uploaded until about midnight CET).
