Description Ian Chiew 2002-12-17 13:51:32 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.0.99)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc-2.95 Debian package gcc-2.95_2.95.4.ds14-16
OS:          Linux

The Konqueror history file can grow to several megabytes in size when holding several thousand entries.  Rewriting the file over and over again on a slow filesystem (such as NFS over a wireless link) makes page-to-page navigation in Konqueror very sluggish.

Suggest using a more efficient internal format for the konq_history file.

Same with bookmarks. Moving bookmarks in a 1MB+ file takes an awful lot of time. Now that Firefox 3.0 will have SQlite for its "Places" thing, it would really be a pity if Konqueror would remain with what it has.
