Bizarre Yakuake Lag

Is anybody else experiencing a bizarre rendering lag in yakuake?

Typing in it feels like typing over SSH on a really slow / lossy connection.

Fire up a file in nano .... it literally won't refresh the screen until I move the cursor or do something.

Running latest everything.    Tried yakuake-qt4-svn in AUR ... same problem.

Yes, me too. I'm not sure, but I think it started with the latest xorg/x-video-intel update...?

Yes I get this too.  I am using xf86-video-ati, so I believe the problem isn't video driver related.  I'm not sure which libraries Yakuake relys on to render text, perhaps there is a problem with that library, or it's interaction with Yakuake. 

I did notice if there is a delay over ssh, and I press an arrow key, it quickly snaps back into place.  Hardly a fix though.

I wish I could add more, but I've uninstalled the package, and am relying on normal konsole now a days.

Try guake maybe, I don't have problem with it.

Well, that's gnome based....
I'll use konsole until this is fixed.
