Hi, I have exactly the same problem on my notebook - it doesn't only effect konqueror but kdesktop too (probably kdesktop just uses konqueror libraries).
Sometimes (some of the first clicks) it might work - but most of the times it takes 10 seconds and more to open an link (links in general, not only directory links!). For me, the desktop isn't usable this way. My system configuration: Dell Latitude D620 Kubuntu 6.10 Beta Edgy Eft (with latest updates) CPU: intel core 2 duo - 64bit mode X11-driver: nv (nVidia Quadro 110) -- Konqueror is slow when opening a directory https://launchpad.net/bugs/64325 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
