The first thing is enabling ncsd, a system daemon which caches DNS results and calls to the user data base (user rights, etc) It is a service provided by the system itself, i.e. it will "sit" below the basic C-library all applications are using, thus benefit all applications. Another thing to try is disabling IPv6 based DNS lookup, see http://tinyurl.com/36pyo3 Cheers, Kevin -- Kevin Krammer, KDE developer, xdg-utils developer KDE user support, developer mentoring
