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. <TD width="468" height="60" valign="middle"> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript1.1" SRC="http://ad.ca.doubleclick.net/N3081/adj/ccn.com/van/indexbanner;loc=theTop;sz=468x60;stile=1;dcopt=ist;kw=van;ord=9?"></SCRIPT><NOSCRIPT><a TARGET="_top" HREF="http://ad.ca.doubleclick.net/N3081/jump/ccn.com/van/indexbanner;loc=theTop;sz=468x60;stile=1;kw=van;ord=9?"><IMG NAME="i_banner" ALIGN="TOP" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0" WIDTH="468" HEIGHT="60" SRC="http://ad.ca.doubleclick.net/N3081/ad/ccn.com/van/indexbanner;loc=theTop;sz=468x60;stile=1;kw=van;ord=9?"></a></NOSCRIPT></TD></TR>; On Thursday 31 July 2003 07:41 am, Robert Froese wrote: > Hello, > > I'm a new FreeBSD user with a performance issue.
