Hi.
One of my favorite apps is MC (Midnight Commander). I have used it for over 10 years in all kinds of different terminals. I am now running KDEmod and MC is sluggish in Konsole. When I scroll the action is jerky, and when I click on a directory there's a noticeable pause before the directory opens. I have tried to run MC i Xterm and it's fast as it should be. Being a snappy file manager is one of the reasons I like it, so this slow response in Konsole is annoying. I am not sure if this is Konsole or MC related, but I have a feeling Konsole may be slower than other terminal programs available. Ideas anyone?

Have you tried using a different terminal?

Yes, it's much faster in xterm.

I remember having a speed issue with mc due to compositing and/or use of non xft fonts. Though it was in urxvt, so I'm not sure this is the same problem. I just came across this thread http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=118157, maybe a video driver problem ?

Thanks. I think this may be it. The post you point to is related to Nvidia which is what I have on this laptop. Doesn't seem to be a solution though unless Konsole gets rewritten.
