When going to PayPal's homepage (ie, Alt-F2 and type "paypal.com" and press enter) the front page takes forever to finish loading.  I have checked it against other browsers and it definitely does not happen there.  The behavior happens every single time, and has happened on at least two versions of KDE that I know of (3.2.3 and 3.3) on at least two different architectures (i386 and x86_64).

Try this:

1. Start loading paypal.com in Konq.  The initial images, login box etc pop up almost immediately.  Then it seems to stall on "images loading, 8 of 9" for quite a while.

2. Switch to another browser, say Moz.  Load paypal.com.  Within a couple of seconds (I have fast DSL) the entire page is loaded.

3. Switch back to Konq.  Still stuck...usually around "images loading, 12 of 13" or something similar.  It's always "N-1 of N".

It does not seem to be a cache issue; the page being in the cache or not makes no difference.  Also note that the page is slightly different if you have a cookie from a paypal login already: it presents a login/password box instead of a button to click for login.  Whether you have the cookie or not does not seem to matter; Moz is fast on both, Konq is slow on both.

There is a tiny amount of javascript on the page, could that be a possible culprit?
