Konsole widget update/repaint are extremely poor. Fast scrolling or selecting large part of text eats one CPU core completely. Even minimazing-maximazing causes freeze for a second. All other applications works fine. I tried to profile it with valgrind and it looks like this: http://itmages.ru/image/view/4231589/588a6a04 Full log: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16019144/konsole-callgrind.7z (668KiB) Also tested on 16.07.70 from git. Same performance. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Konsole 2. ls -lR 3. Try to select all text I got nVidia with proprietary driver with __GL_YIELD="USLEEP" to prevent tearing.
