You have been subscribed to a public bug: Loading pages using the QWebView widget in a python script with PyQt is very slow. For example loading of http://heise.de/, the biggest german site for tech news takes between 2 and 3 minutes on my netbook running Ubuntu 9.10 with the latest Qt and PyQt versions and using the script that I've attached. The same script achieves results of 2 to 5 seconds in virtual machines with Windows XP and Windows 7 RC running on my desktop computer in Virtualbox. Loading the same page on my netbook with Firefox takes only about 2 to 3 seconds (Cache was cleared before).
QtWebKit is not only slow while loading pages, but also mouse over effects can be very slow. For example on http://cms-db.de/ there's a big background image and it takes about a second for the mouse over effect to appear on my netbook. Again, this is running as fast as in Firefox when opening the page on Windows. ** Affects: qt4-x11 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- QtWebKit/PyQt is very slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/422535 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to qt4-x11 in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
