Konqueror slow, Firefox fast

[Sebastian Stein]

Hej,

I have Kubuntu Breezy running on AMD 64. If I use the browser konqueror, I can
only surf very slowly the net. It takes a horrible long time for konqueror to
connect to a page. On the other hand if I use firefox, it is very fast page
loading as I expect it on a DSL line.

Both browsers use the same internet connection. Are there any settings like
timeout times or DNS lookup, which may slow down konqueror?

Did you change your connection settings (proxy and so on) in the past? My
Konqueror seems to be having trouble realizing that the proxy has just
been turned off and in those cases, it behaves like you described.
Unfortunately, I have not yet had the time to take a closer look at this.

What are they like if you enter the target IP directly into the address
bar? This will hint whether it is a DNS issue.

No, I haven't changed any settings. I just use DHCP.

Yes, this was a good idea. If I enter directly the IP, Konqueror is as fast as
Firefox. So what can cause this? I have no special proxy settings in konqueror.
I never configured anything special there.

I'm afraid I don't know. I'd check your /etc/hosts is correct, run
Konqueror from the CLI and look for messages, er, not sure what else
really.

I already did this but there was not any output. Also it seems there is no
"verbose" parameter.

Use tcpdump or ethereal to show the net traffic and compare it with the traffic
firefox is creating

Try

KDE_NO_IPV6=true in your /etc/environment, then restart. Worked for me.
