You take a slower computer, and try to see how responsive it is to page up/down, selection, etc. I can tell you, unfortunately, that currently LyX/Qt 1.4.0cvs feels really sluggish compared to lyx/xfoms. But since we do not really know why, it is difficult to fix.
JMarc, Oh. Since I upgraded hardware almost two years ago (from a PII/333MHz to Athlon XP+1700 and Athlon XP+2800), I assumed I was the last to move from 7-year-old hardware. I suspect that Qt seems sluggish because it's object oriented and, therefore, large. I think that all OO apps will appear sluggish on older hardware; they're not as tight and elegant as straight C code running in a curses environment on the console.
