Is there a way to make konqeuror load web pages as fast as firefox?
I already disabled IPv6 and allowed it to use the cache when possible.
My connection:
Download max: 310 kb/s
Upload max: 50kb/s

You mentioned that you already disabled IPV6. I found that when I disable the module itself, it doesn't seem to help, but when I disable it from within KDE, it helps a lot. Also, it may be a placebo effect, but I pointed my DNS directly at a DNS server, and no longer getting it from DHCP, and that seems to help. On my current setup, Konqueror is running as well as Firefox.

Do you have a tutorial for pointing my DNS directly to a DNS server?
I know of a tutorial, but that's only for ubuntu. (the conf files aren't in the same place)

vi /etc/resolv.conf
add the line nameserver 206.165.6.11 (or some other nameserver - that's one of global corssing's) to the top of the file
vi /etc/conf.d/dhcpcd
add the -R option to the existling line - this keeps dhcpcd from overwriting /etc/resolv.conf

You might also set up local dns caching, which speeds up surfing quite a bit - install dnsmasq, mv /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.dnsmasq, set resolv-file to /etc/resolv.conf.dnsmasq in /etc/dnsmasq.conf, add nameserver 127.0.0.1 to /etc/resolv.conf, execute /etc/rc.d/dnsmasq start, use dig from dnsutils package to confirm that it caches dns entries. Remember to add dnsmasq to /etc/rc.conf.

^ I use named to achieve the same thing. Would you happen to know what would be the better way?

You mean bind?
AFAIK, dnsmasq is regarded as more lightweight (and additionally it can serve as a dhcp server - it's an especially good solution for a router serving a small home network). Other that resource usage, which shouldn't be an issue in either case, there obviously shouldn't be any difference in caching "performance" itself.
