Description karaluh 2009-05-21 15:55:58 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

It can take several seconds to switch between components.

The first time you open every component it is being loaded from disk... The next times you open the same component it should be *instant*... Does it take several seconds even in the second try ?
Thanks

Comment 2 karaluh 2009-05-24 13:23:38 UTC

Yes, it does. The time is noticeably shorter, but still far from being instant. Kontact should also preload it's components in the background on startup BTW.

Comment 3 Dario Andres 2009-05-24 14:42:17 UTC

You could file a wish report about Kontact preloading modules to discuss it there. (I'm not a Kontact dev)
Thanks
