In 3.1, a lot of the slowdown was in the skin /engine/. In 4.0, the amount of glitz/flash in the skin itself determines speed. Cordonata should be reasonably fast on a moderate-level machine, but Cobalt (for instance) which is also installed will be much, much faster.

If you find Cobalt is running slower for you than 3.1, it *really* should not be; if so, PLEASE log into Bugzilla with your alpha account and log a bug with some performance and system info? It's conceivable there are situations that affect skin performance which we haven't found or fixed, but we'll need info to track those down. This is why it's an alpha, after all. :)

A lot of the right-click contact options will be returning; due to it being alpha (and the mediums having been restarted from scratch), stuff's still being fleshed back out.
