This is what I'm talking about - on my 1Ghz processor, my 7200 rpm hard 
drive, and everything else, netscape takes over 7 seconds to load - and I 
just loaded it previously about 20 minutes ago.  Konqueror takes about 4-5 
seconds. I don't think this is acceptable performance - in fact, I think it's 
pretty darn slow. Call me crazy, tell me where my bottlenecks might be, but 
this to me is too slow.

P.S. As per Kurt's suggestion, if I could figure out how to get KDE to work 
w/ VNC I'd be more than happy to try it out.
