Description Faissal Eddichari 2007-05-17 13:33:13 UTC

Version:           1.0.1 (using KDE 3.5.6, Kubuntu (feisty) 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu14)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.20-15-generic

Well, i often connect to a random EFNET servet ( /server irc.efnet.net ).

When i request the channels list, i often get lots of channels.

The thing is that when the list is over and i want to scroll down or sort the chan by number of users or by name, konversation is extremely slow, and it may take sometimes 5 seconds to complete this yet very simple operation ( which is really a lot and is definetely annoying)

it makes it look like konversation has frozen, but everything returns to normal once the sorting is over.

I know other irc clients dont take a tenth of a second to sort the channels (even when there are 20000 channels), but i do not want to switch since konversation my favorite.

I cannot help out fixing this issue, but i hope reporting it will help.

Could you try out current svn? I've done some changes that might have improved the behavior.

It takes me less than second to sort 4000 channel list once the the list is finished loading. 

But the channel loading process is painfully show and takes 100% cpu.

I have athlon 2500.

Is this still an issue in a recent KDE version?

I'd say this can be closed now as the channel list has seen massive optimizations in recent times.
