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

The difference is dramatic. Sites that were taking minutes to load are now 
loading as fast or faster than in Firefox.

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.
