The future of Nautilus i GConf

Hi there!
I've been happily using Gnome since version 1.2 and with impatience been
waiting for next versions of this great desktop. Everyting until today looks
fine except fact that each next version of 2.x serie becomes more and more
weighty and slower, excluding 2.16 which was a bit lighter and faster than
2.14.

I get to know that the main reasons of that is Nautilus and GConf. And here
is the questions: has anybody noticed that KDE is much faster than Gnome or
is it only me? And if so, does Gnome development team has some plans for
Nautilus to become faster and GConf to become replaced with something else?
If 2.18 will additionally come with Mono apps this environment would become
just extremely slow :( I really like Gnome, but lately found working with it
much less comfortable comparing to KDE, which looks to be the same complex
but somehow it manages to work reasonably fast.

Maybe there are some tricks I miss, that would improve the efficiency of
Gnome on my desktop?

Best regards,
Tom
