Is Konqueror really slow, or is it just my installation?

[swoll1980]

On my machine Konqueror runs really slow. I don't have this problem with Firefox. I don't know if it's just my setup, or if it's like this for everyone. What's you experience with it?

[themarker0]

When i ran mandriva spring 08, i had no issues with it. If anything it was faster then firefox at the time. Are you using a KDE base? I did have troubles with it in general when i moved bases.

Likely to just be your config.

I've dabbled in and out of Kubuntu a few times, and Konqueror is pretty good, but IMHO it's not as good as Firefox :-/

[kellemes]

Konqueror 4.4.1 is much faster then Firefox 3.6.2pre on my machine..
and so I use Chrome 5.0.307.11 beta ;-)

[swoll1980]

Huh, now I have to figure out what's wrong with it.

Run it from terminal and watch the output?

Might as well be German

No it isn't.. it's another language.
I don't understand.

[sandyd]

same here. slow as a turtle.

[kellemes]

What version are we talking about anyway?
With KDE4 keeping up to date really pays these day.. every release is getting better and faster.

I'm using 4.4.1 I believe. I had this problem in 4.3 as well though.

[Name change]

My Konqueror can be fast and it can be pinstakingly slow...
it's slow mostly on Wikipedia and some other wikis, and sometimes it just grinds to a halt for no real reason...
I still prefer it any other browser; I'm special that way.
