There is a small change in behaviour from KDE 3:  If you use the Open in New Tab action on a link, in KDE 3 Konqueror immediately opened a new tab and then started to retrieve the page.  In KDE 4 it seems like it first contacts the server and as soon as a connection is established, the tab is displayed.

Why was the old behavior better?  On a slow internet connection or with slow servers, it might take quite a while until the tab opens.

Its especially annoying with a touchpad like mine:  I can tap in the top right corner to emulate a middle click (ie. Open in new Tab).  But the touchpad sometimes ignores those clicks (for whatever reason).  So when I use that feature I always check if it really got the click by looking at the tab list.  A bit annoying but worked quite well in KDE 3.  Now I already missed two pages I wanted to read and opened a few others twice.

Please change this back to the old behavior.
