It seems to fix my performance problems. Switching between desktops and
window was generally (moderately) slow, and seemed to get slower over
Sometimes emacs and mulberry (two applications that I would not describe
as modern) began to need a long time to render the
window (in emacs the buffers (text areas)). It took > 10 Seconds to
rerender a bigger mulberry window (up to 1600x1200). The time was
proportional to the dimensions of the window. Other applications where
slower too when this happened, but not that slow.

Since I updated to 4.5.2 I don't have these problems anymore.

I had no time to look after that before and report it, so I don't know if 
this is
a known problem or a problem of kwin.

I didn't have any problems with the update so far.
