QtCurve performance isn't much different; Getting technical: polish() is waaaaaaaaay faster paint() is a bit slower. It's hard to say which is faster/slower and by how much as it then depends on the app; and benchmarks are misleading and confusing. In real world usage, it doesn't seem to make a lot of difference. I think the big question point is about making default. If we don't change their kde4 settings too the apps will look like a mess, if we do change it that's meddling with their existing setup when they install plasma next, which is more than a bit naughty.
