           Summary: Machine load increases when much text is scrolling
                    through konsole, system reacts slowly
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified

        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: dirk.heinrichs.ext nsn com


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)

OS:                Linux

When lots of text is scrolling by in konsole, let's say during a software build performed on a remote machine via ssh, the load of my machine increases to a point were the system reacts sluggishly as long as the scrolling konsole tab is visible. If I change tab in the same konsole window, move another window in front of konsole or switch to another logical desktop the system load drops back to normal. Making the konsole window visible results in increased load again.

Did some tests with other terminals (xterm, rxvt, xemacs), but this happens in konsole, only.

The machine is a 3.2GHz P4 HT with i915 graphics chip.
