You have written about dynamic_cast problems. Are there more problems using 
kde 3.4 ? Is this problems could be handled this seems to be very 
interesting, because I recognized performance problems for example with 
umbrello. The most time when importing classes is gone in the dynamic_cast 
related functions (about 60%), so I assume, that this cast operations are 
very bad implemented in gcc 3.3.3. 

Where you got gcc 3.4.3, cygwin distro contains only the 3.4.1 release ?

I will take a look. Thanks for contributing.
