Well, it certainly looks and feels different when compiled with the kde useflag, or at least did on my x86 laptop. Also, the version I compiled on my memory-starved 2.4GHz P4 laptop started 5-10 times faster then the binary version installed on my 2.2GHz 4GB RAM 2x Dual-core Opteron monster. OOo-bin sucked so much on AMD64 (for me, it's subjective) that I loved it when KOffice finally became usable for me. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh
