It's like day and night.
Konqueror 3.5 is crawling around the site. It takes forever to do even the simplest taks. Clicks take forever, text takes time to show, everything has major delays... If I try to close the window, I get a notification it is not responding.
Firefox 1.5 does everything at the normal speed.

It might be a configuration issue on my part but I haven't had speed issues with Konqueror anywhere else ever, and I prefer using Konqueror for its integration in KDE... So I'm just pointing this out in case it is a compatibility issue that can be fixed

Today I'm on Windows XP.
Firefox 2 works properly. Internet Explorer works quite properly too.
Apparently it's just Konqueror that is left out of the loop...

Konqueror seems particularly affected in the profile editing pages where it produces delays and in the forums where it crawls down to a stop...

I can view other parts of G more or less normally.
