Personally, I'm not surprised that you found the SUSE KDE desktop responsive. KDE always has been. I have an Acer 7750G, i5-2410 8GBytes RAM running Arch and KDE. I have 12 desktops, 5 of them permanently in use. One has konsole with 5 tabs, one has kmail, one Chrome with - typically - a dozen tabs open (19 at the moment), one has Firefox with 8-10 tabs (11 at present, though), one has konqueror with 4 tabs showing man pages. In addition, at present, I have okular, atom editor and calibre on other desktops and have just closed a gvim.

My laptop is always responsive (except when I close the lid). I have actually booted the Windows 7 that came with this machine (but not for nearly 2 years), but I found it painfully slow to do anything - and it is so primitive!

My partner has just upgraded her laptop. She uses Manjaro/KDE. Her old machine (with a core solo) was also responsive except when it overheated and seized up (which is why she replaced it).

Five years ago I ran KDE 3.5 on a very old AMD Durion with 768MBytes RAM. It, too, was nicely responsive but I only had 4 desktops on that, though

Addendum. I found Eclipse to be a resource hog in the past, but my machine was still responsive.
