Hi George,

were You at www.flashnews.cz ? Did You see the ticker (incorrectly) moving ?
Did you wait until the page loaded and then tried to browse this site ?
When I'm trying this, the following appears:
- Trying to type the URL to the box: the box is refreshed once about 5 seconds,
letters are grouped together. Backspace is not cached at all, You must wait
until the character disappears to use it again.
- Positioning the pointer over the link: The arrow cursor changes to the finger
about 20 second later. Until then, clicking is useless (it is rememebered and
after the cursor changes, the link is followed).
- During loading the page, the gear rotates but the frames change about twice per
second.
- Sending the termination signal (by widget or by menu) terminates it, but also
about 15 seconds later.
All this on the Athlon/1G with 512 M of RAM.
CPU load when standing on such a page is about 1.16 (just measured). It's really
better than with 2.2, it used to be about 1.60.
The load is divided between X server (80%) and kdeinit: konqueror -silent (the
rest). It seems that konqueror hogs the Xserver by sending commands to it.
Note the following:
- Using XFree cvs head about a two weeks old (the same observed with regular
4.1.0, 4.0.3 and 4.0.2)
- Using ATI Rage 128 card with native XFree driver
- Xft on
- Screen dimensions 1600x1200x24 (yes, not everybody uses such a big screens, it may
slow the things down a bit)
- konq window in full-screen mode

If some deeper look inside the problem is required, tell me what to find.

                                       With regards, Pavel Troller
