Konqueror performance too slow

Hi all,

what´s wrong with the performance of Konqueror when loading a webpage?
Since Suse 10.0 it has taken incredibly long to load even a simple page.
Firefox and Opera behave normal, i.e. they load pages with a reasonable speed.

I hoped the problem would get fixed within vers. 10.2 but unfortunately
nothing has improved in this regard.

Is there any known bottleneck I have to bypass or deactivate?

Try disabling IPv6. I usually do this from YaST>/etc/sysconfig/Editor.

Keep to the code.

I found the Beagle indexing service was slowing down everything, doing disc
accesses every two seconds. Not thrashing, but irritating, and a much
crisper response all round since stopping the daemon.

I have no proof that this is not Beagle, but here it is enabled and makes no
difference in disk activity. The first time after installation there was
long disk search, but not after that.

That seems more like device check that is present all the time even when
Beagle and zmd are removed from the system.

Back to topic:
The IPv6 can be disabled in
YaST--Network Devices--Network Card--<either configuration method>
Select card, press "Edit" button, press "Advanced" and IPv6.
Check "Disable" and finish edit.

This makes possible to use or not use IPv6 per network interface.

If Konqueror is still slow go to Personal Settings in Main Menu,
browse to "Internet and Network" and select Proxy.
On the right screen default is "Use preset proxy environment variables"
use that or "Connect to the Internet directly".

Apologies, I was shooting in the dark. I've just disabled IPv6 as described
above, restarted the Beagle daemon, and Konqueror is fast enough

Thanks for the feedback Bob.

People blame Beagle for slowness and call it resource hog, which was the
issue before. Looking in it's purpose, it can't be that bad all the time.
Once it has indexed directories that you want to be indexed, there is not
much hard disk activity. If you see Beagle using to much CPU that it is a
bug, not normal status.

There are cases where user runs SUSE on slow machine with little memory,
than any service running in background that one can live without should be
disabled, not only indexing ie. Beagle.

Have a fun and happy new year.
