  If it's only one site. then it's probably not a big deal, really.  I 
haven't seen problems anywhere, and sites like, for example 
http://www.uoftbookstore.com/ , are finally now usable in konqueror.

Sounds like they have a high speed timer setup...  or something similar.  I 
don't dare go look after hearing this. :)
