Just a comment from one who is almost exclusively a KDE user and not a KDE
developer. I do have one Athlon machine plus a couple K6 machines. My gut
hunch is that those of us who do have such machines do have the physical
resources for our machines. The willingness and/or technical deftness to do
it is quite a different question though. (I'm definitely lacking the
willingness right now and it would be a large technical challenge for me to
do so.)
