Well, my point is that some of the speed issues are actually not present in 
let's say, netscape. When I select text in netscape, it's not as sluggish as 
it is within konqueror. Also, the displaying itself of the webpage (seen the 
most when backing through previous visited sites) is slow, sometimes you can 
follow the building of the display from the top to the bottom. The 
highlighting of text, going back through visited pages and redrawing stuff is 
all a lot faster if I try it in IE when running win98. I just wondered what 
could be the cause of this.

I've tried kde2 on my friend's system, he has a 1GHz athlon with 256 mb mem, 
it still doesn't run as snappy as I would expect on such a system. And yes, I 
did use the correct CXXFLAGS while compiling the sources (optimizations, 
architecture etc).

Greetz,

Jelmer
