Hi,

my Konqueror is very sluggish. Although I disabled IPV6 (/etc/environment, ~.bashrc, etc) most of the sites need about 5 sec to load. I also disabled for testing java and java-script.
What could be the problem that my konq isn't as fast as FF or Opera or even as my konq in KDE 3?

Edit: I also installed and configured dnsmasq.
My system: sidux nyx, KDE4 debian-experiemntal, kernel 2.6.26, Lenovo 3000 N100.

Same problem for me in Arch Linux and KDE4. Furthermore sometimes when it get slow, textboxes (like the search box in google) stop working properly, they don't let me write anything in them, but they let me select the text they have or put the cursor.

Exactly
Any hints?

Ok, sometime I feel that the rendering of website is slow but how can I prove that in a way help developer to improve the speed ?

@Zayed I really didn't understood your last post

I want to say: How can I measure the slowness of konqueror ? Is there any tool can told me that konqueror takes 10s to open X site ?

You can try something I did to speed up Konqueror in KDE3. I was dissatisfied that Konqueror did not have HTTP pipelining, so after some searching, I installed Polipo as a local HTTP/HTTPS/FTP proxy and set Konqueror to use it (localhost on port 8123 if I remember correctly). In addition to HTTP pipelining, Polipo also provided improved caching, and since it was a proxy, I could set every browser to use it and the caching would be shared between the browsers. (This also means that it is a good idea to disable each browser's independent caching.)

I haven't tried it on Konqueror 4 yet, but I hear that there is a bug that prevents the use of proxies in KDE 4. Hopefully this issue gets resolved before 4.2 rolls out.

This will only speed up the time it takes to download the web page, not render it.[hr]
Well, I just installed and set up Polipo for use in Konqueror, and it seems that the HTTP and HTTPS protocols are working fine, but the FTP is not. Perhaps this may help?

Some partial proxy fixes were applied for KDE 4.1, however only for HTTP(S). Unfortunately nested connections don't work ( No GMail ).
FTP support hasn't yet been implemented. See this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155707 for the full story.

I don't know what version you are all using, but V. Tokarev just put into trunk some stuff that should speed things up x8. It should affect facebook.

I have same problem. Konqueror is unusable slow for me.

OS: openSUSE 11.0 / KDE 4.1.2

The Problem seems to be fixed in KDE 4.1.71

Ok, thx.

For me konqueror is also too slowly. That's why I use firefox now. imho konqueror team should think of using webkit with google's v8 so that things would be very fast and many sites would automatically be optimized for konqueror. But unfortunatelly i don't think it'll happen...

You may suffer from a bug in some routers (for example the very common AVM Fritz!Boxes in Germany or AVM OEM devices sold by T-Com) which get hit by code in KDE/Qt.

Getting a new router or setting a different external DNS in /etc/resolv.conf (for example one from opendns) will help there.

See the kde bug report for details: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162600

There is no easy fix on the KDE side.
