a question of speed

[Michael Cardenas]

Hello again. 

I'd like to ask you all about a problem we're seeing with regards to
speed. Our build of kde3 is based upon cvs from 0327. 

We are having a speed problem when accessing some sites, specifically
mp3.com. When using kde 2.2.2 we were able to load mp3.com in just about
3 seconds. With our latest release, mp3.com loads in about 30 seconds.
These speeds are from within our offices, on a high speed connection.

The strange part is that SUSE with kde 3.0.0 loads mp3.com in just over
3 seconds. 

I've looked at the headers and the responses and the responses from the
mp3.com server actually have a Date field which says that they are about
6 seconds apart. 

Here are the headers sent by our version of konqueror to one of our
local webservers. 

GET / HTTP/1.1
Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.0.1 (CVS >= 20020327))

I understand that since this only happens on our distro, you prolly
won't be interested, but if anyone has any ideas, I would greatly
appreciate them. 

thanks
