*** Bug 170477 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The most KDE/GNOME applications (like konsole) use the feature "anti_aliasing for font" and therefore is much slower than xterm which does not support this feature. to disable this feature you should start konsole with the option "--noxft", it will be much faster then before. |
Description of problem: When running an X session from another PC using an X server on that PC, the Konsole application is incredibly slow, like 2400 baud slow. xterm is NOT. Interestingly, Firefox is very slow to scroll, but Konquerer is not so bad. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Qt: 3.3.4 KDE: 3.4.2-0.fc3.2 Red Hat Konsole: 1.5.2 How reproducible: I'm using WinaXe, although I think this would happen with any Xserver software. Or even from another linux machine if you could get it to run an XDMP session from another linux system. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start xterm. "time cat /etc/termcap". Blink twice. 2. Start konsole. "time cat /etc/termcap". Go get a cup of coffee and a bagel. 3. Actual results: on the system console, you CAN see the difference: xterm takes 2.3 secs, konsole takes 4.3 seconds. on a remote X display, its MUCH worse: xterm takes 11 secs, konsole takes 52.4 seconds Expected results: I'd expect that Konsole would be able to scroll a screen down about as fast as Xterm.
