My Konqueror has worked fine for a year now. Recently I noticed it started using huge amounts of CPU time and slowing down to a crawl.
Certain webpges (i.e. www.iht.com) seem to provoke it. Top shows X using 78% of CPU, kdinit konqueror --silent uses more or less the rest
I did a strace -p PID of the one of the offending processes (/usr/X11R6/bin /X) and here is a fraction of the output:
strace -p [PID /usr/X11R6/bin/X]
