Version: 3.5.4 (using KDE 3.5.4 Level "a" , unofficial build of SUSE ) Compiler: Target: i586-suse-linux OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.16.21-0.13-default When loading images on webpages konqueror gets very slow and scrolling is a nightmare. Works fine in Explorer and Firefox, but I'd really like to use konqueror because other than on the images issue I like this browser the most. Thanks for a super application.
More details please. Which video card driver/version is in use? Are all pages which have images slow?
My machine is pretty good, its a Dell XPS M170, using a NVidia card, the newest driver downloaded from NVidia not the Suse version. slashdot.org is ok, it has a lot of small images, kde-look.org is also ok, unless I click on an image to preview it. It looks as if it is PNG images. It can take several seconds to load an image of medium size, and its not a bandwidth issue since firefox loads them quickly and the filesize is not necessary bigger than the jpg's or gif's. But in general when the pages becomes complex, like kde-look.org or slashdot it becomes slow. Much slower than Firefox, but small simple pages are no problem
Is it konqueror or xorg which is eating CPU time while rendering? Could you try with nv-driver? Possible related bugs: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120372 and #125580
It looks as if it is X that is occupying CPU usage, but why does the same not go for Firefox then? Is it some sort of coupling between KDE and X that is "slow" compared to the coupling between Firefox and X? The same problem exists using the standard nv driver.
I am having a similar problem. Loading a my.yahoo.com is a nightmare. Usually on the first try the browser reports url cannot be found with a timeout. I have to refresh the page several times to get it to complete or come close to complete. Firefox loads in less than a second everytime. I am using SuSE 10.1, x86_64 on a Boxx System with NVIDIA FX1400 graphics card with most recent binary from NVIDIA. Using standard SuSE RPM's for all KDE packages. Yahoo is only one example, anything with graphics, flash, or java load becomes almost unusable at times. I have the following in my .bashrc as well, "export KDE_NO_IPV6=true" which used to work in prior versions (3.5.2 and prior) but now appears to make no difference. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
I found out, that my libgl.so had been overwritten so it was no longer the correct library used. I removed the file and reinstalled NVidia (would not work before I removed the file.) problem solved (for me)
Sounds like this issue is fixed then. Please reopen if any of the reporters can still reproduce it.
