I have 4GB of RAM and 512MB of RAM on an Nvidia 9800GT. I recently switched to LXDE simply because the entire KDE desktop lags graphically. I've tried turning on and off various KWin switches, and still KWin's FPS monitor often shows drops to > 24FPS when moving windows, etc. I've changed graphics drivers, Nouveau vs. proprietary, etc.
More importantly, I realized I use none of Plasma, and the KDE 4 series just has a certain feel to it that I don't like. Almost as if all of the widgets have too much margin around them, or something else that I can't quite put my finger on. Lastly, vertical panels / taskbars just don't work like I want them to.
Overall, I think they have the right idea. Plasma Active makes a lot of sense, and it's proving some of the logic in their strategy of generic reusable widgets so they can easily build environments to match devices, rather than one environment to fit them all. It just looks like it's going to take them quite some time to get there.
Many microcontrollers have internal oscillators that run at 32kHz for this exact reason, no second crystal needed. Additionally, you selectively control which peripherals are attached to which clocks, further minimizing power consumption.
Yes, but that work is minor compared to fixing Gecko's bloated code base. I'm sure Adobe chose KHTML (That is the real name WebKit) for the same reasons Apple did when building Safari: it's clean, it's fast, and it's standards compliant. I believe that KHTML (as Konqueror on KDE, and Safari on Mac) is the only engine currently passing the ACID2 compliance test. The guys on the KDE team have done an excellent job.
In addition, Apple has already shown that it's not a big deal to port KHTML.
Regarding your ability to show mounted volumes in the file dialogs in GNOME, you really need to discover KIO slaves. Just pick your protocol (fish:// => ssh, ftp:// => ftp, and so on), and then append the directory, and it will transparently access it. This works in all KDE apps, in all dialogs. I find it especially useful for server administration, where I often need to copy files back and forth, etc. This way, I don't need ftp running remotely, I can just ssh instead.
You should check out twinkle (www.twinklephone.com). It's the only real SIP phone usable on Linux if you ask me. I like it better than eyebeam for windows by far. Addressbook integration in KDE, tray icon, multiple accounts/lines, STUN, SRV support. It's good stuff.
Using SIP aliases makes this even better, in OpenSER for instance. This way, PSTN users can dial your number, while others can still reach you at an alphanumeric name.

Any of this supported in Jingle?

Get a sigrok compatible logic analyzer for $15. Or a nice Saleae analyzer for $150 with a nice case and GUI software.

Power grows linearly with frequency, and by the square of the voltage. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_power_dissipation
