    Hello Robert

    I have been using FreeBSD 5.1 RELEASE and Konqueror without any noticeable
    problems with speed or name resolution. The problem I have are related to
    browser issue: not haveing support for shockwave, scripting problems, and
    poorly develop sites that do not work well with the KHTML and Mozilla
    engines. The site you referenced does load slowly for me, but I think is do
    to the site and it is defiantly not a result of the operating system or KDE.
    The webpage does load some files form ad.ca.doubleclick.net see code below.
