           Summary: konsole becomes slow as time passes
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kde at pasquinade.cjb.net


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.94)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.2 
OS:          Linux

I tend to spend a lot of time coding and today I found that konsole's performance degrades significantly as time passes by. 

the problem seems to show up after about an hour of active text writing (in my case using the "jed" editor), haven't tested in other situations. konsole's scrolling becomes unberably slow. If I restart it, eveything goes back to normal (for another hour).

I don't know what other info I can give you on the matter, only that I usually have around 4-5 shells per konsole window.

I tried to see if it was a problem with the scroll buffer using the following shell script on a new konsole:

while `true`; do echo -n hello; done

but the shell was still usable after the buffer filled. seems to be dependent only on time :/

thanks for the great software.
