i can confirm this. the rendering is the same (subjective) speed in both 
konqueror and quanta, but it's everything that leads up to the rendering in 
konqueror that seems so much slower. which is understandable since quanta 
doesn't have any toolbars to update and doesn't support nearly as many 
viewing modes or plugins as Konqueror does (at least, AFAIK).

the question probably isn't one of rendering speed, but everything that 
Konqueror does between clicking on a link and getting the data to khtml for 
rendering. at least that's what i'd guess ;-)
