E17 vs KDE 4.3.1
Recently, I have started using KDE 4.3.1 after it came in Gentoo stable tree. I have been using E17 svn versions for quite some time now. I found that with E17 the cpu is relatively cooler. Of course, my benchmarking is not precise yet it shall provide you an overall view. My system is Thinkpad R60.
With KDE 4.3.1, my system starts at about 55 degree Celsius as seen above. While with E17, it starts at about 50 degree Celsius.
Interestingly, it gradually decreases to about 45 degrees while in KDE it stabilizes at the same 55 degrees.
