And there are also great differences with different settings. I'm talking about the radeon open source driver: The raster graphics system is still much faster than the Xrender graphics system. When not on the high power profile, but on mid or low you can't really use opengl compositing as windows will lagg behind horribly when moving, much, much worse when additionally enabling the opengl2 shaders. the Xrender compositing is actually quite fast but when scrolling in firefox it still "feels" much faster when not using any compositing.
But it's true for most KDE programs: They are quite heavy compared to their counterparts in leightweight DEs... Opening dolphin vs opening thunar is really a big difference...
