Gecko isn't robust, nor is it bug free, reason is that they've been
working on it for tooo long :)
Gecko was meant to be cross platform and whole lot of things.
KHTML is meant to be a HTML part for the K Desktop Environment, they even
use it in their file browser, so its bound to be threateningly faster.
