Performance issues with Konqueror

#1 (**permalink**) 19-Dec-2005, 14:58

I am running KDE (3.4.0 Level "b") on Suse Linux (9.3) and I am
experiencing performance issues with Konqueror when used as a web browser.
It cannot find links or if found it seems to be continously refreshing and
so does not load.

I am new to Linux and so would appreciate some advice on how best to
diagnose the problem.

I suggest you install and try FireFox, to diagnose whether your problem
is really Konqueror or something else such as Linux or your network.

Thats a good suggestion thank you.

I have installed Firefox - and I do not have performance issues with Firefox.

Trey disabling ipv6 support for KDE in Yast>System>/etc/sysconfig
Editor>Desktop>KDE_USE_IPV6 this can sometimes help.

No difference. For my information - what does the KDE_USE_IPV6 do?

Many thanks.

ipv6 is the new ip address protocol that is slowly being implemented to
facilitate the use of higher address ranges that the normal ipv4 is
limited too due to running out of ip No`s.

KDE can use it for internal and external communications, from the docs:

It might solve large timeouts due to broken servers which claim to have
IPv6 support, but do not respond.
