I sent this one out way back in November and I had been living with it since then. But I was having trouble with even more sites, so I readdressed the issue with the kde-devel mailing list. Waldo Bastian came back with the solution and I wanted to share it: > Typical case of DNS-servers with broken IPV6 support. Add > export KDE_NO_IPV6=true > to /etc/profile or so. The difference is dramatic. Sites that were taking minutes to load are now loading as fast or faster than in Firefox. ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: image loading times in Konqueror 3.3.1 Date: Tuesday 09 November 2004 07:51 pm From: Jim Philips To: kde-linux@kde.org Earlier, I thought image loading was slower for Web sites that are requiring authentication. My examples were: http://www.ajc.com http://www.washingtonpost.com The image loading is only slow when I go to an article within the site, not the home page. Others told me they don't experience this slowness on the same sites. So, tonight I decided to compare page loading times with Firefox 1.0. On the ajc.com site, I clicked on an article with Konqueror and waited a full 25 seconds, while Konqueror loaded images, before I could see the text of the article. I tried clicking on the same article with Firefox and the article text loaded in about 1 second. I have a pretty speedy DSL connection here and most sites load pretty quickly in Konqueror. Is nobody else seeing lags while Konqueror loads images on a page? I like Konqueror, but if Firefox is 25 times faster--on even a few sites--I'm obviously going to prefer it. ------------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde-linux mailing list.
