Version: 1.11.0 (using 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0), Kubuntu packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.27-12-generic In 3.5, I never noticed a difference in the composer between scrolling with the mouse or scrolling using the arrow keys/pgup/pgdn. In 4.2, kmail is *significantly* slower scrolling with arrow keys or with other text motion keys. It will sometimes take as much as two seconds to do a PageUp (I know, 2s doesn't sound like much, but it's an eternity when trying to write an email). I see this both when my load is high and when not. I do not see it when scrolling the text box with the scrollbars using the mouse. I haven't yet seen it in any other applications, either.
