I like the idea of the patch but appearantly it cannot hide my general DNS 
problems. What I still see is that Konqueror manages to fetch like 60-80% 
of a page's images but then it starts to get reaaally slow.

Occassionally - but rather seldom - I've been seeing connection errors 
from other software like svn. Saw a message like "temporary DNS failure". 
So I definitely have a problem with my router or ISP (who is known for 
unreliable DNS). It's just that other software copes with it much more 
reliably.

I see that somebody just posted some logs to the bug report so I won't try 
to produce some myself. Will do so if requested, though.

Harri.
