Description Germain Garand 2010-03-01 01:03:28 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

when using a KIO job to transfer some resource from a local file or a local socket, the event loop is stuffed with data() signals in such a way that the receiving application cannot even consume other tasks (such as elapsed timers).

The responsiveness of the GUI suffers greatly from this
(in fact, it cannot update/repaint at all).

reproduce : try opening some huge (e.g. 20 MB) html with Konqueror on a local server.

konqueror ./huge.html => gui locked up, no timer can fire.
konqueror http://localhost/huge.html => idem
konqueror http://myip/huge.html => gui is responsive, event loop consumes events/timers normally.

konqueror 4.2.4 works fine with all of the above.

Is this still an issue in KDE 4.10?
