I recall reading a profiling test that showed that Qt is about 10x as
slow as GTK for a rather common operation.

KDE is released under the GPL, but Qt is not. You can't use KDE
without Qt. (It's questionable in my mind whether a GPL product
should rely on a third-party library which is not released under
the GPL, the LGPL, or an equivalently open license.)

Exactly.
