Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: konsole

I'm running Kubuntu Jaunty. I'm doing most of my work in konsole, mostly
using tabs.

Ever since I upgraded from Intrepid I observe that konsole is getting
slower and slower after a few hours of work have passed. I can feel a
slight lag (only a few 100ms, but annoying as hell) when changing
between tabs or changing the screen content (changing into another
channel in irssi). Same when cat'ing a large textfile, it is fast and
smooth after login but gets pretty sluggish after a few hours.

It is probably not related to Bug #343714 since my memory consumption
appears to be normal, there is plenty of RAM free or used as disk cache,
also only a few MB of the swap is used.

Restarting konsole completely (I made sure no konsole process was left
running) doesn't help, logging out and in again does. So far I have
experienced the problem on three different machines, all running Jaunty

Dell Latitude D630, G965, EXA, Desktop Effects
Dell OptiPlex 760, Q45/43, UXA, Desktop Effects
self-made ASrock 780G-based (radeon-driver), EXA, no Desktop Effects

I think the OptiPlex got better after I switched to UXA, hard to tell.
Also I can't rule out that other KDE parts or the whole system are
affected, konsole is just what I'm using most, so I can compare the
performance there.

Systems are up to date.
