Hey,

Ive been using KDE 3.3 on FC2 for about 2 weeks now, and while its not
as fast as your FC3 setup, its still pretty quick. Overall I like the
cleaner sleeker look of 3.3 compared to previous versions. Are you
running FC3 on a desktop or laptop? I also like to just setup a YAM/YUM
server on my network and use it as a HTTP/FTP install server; I already
have one setup for FC2 (and a few apt repositories for updates) and it
makes installs so much faster (no changing CDs, only have to burn a 4MB
iso, etc.).
