I'm glad someone else was able to replicate my problem, as it was disregarded and closed some time ago. This problem obviously needs to be addressed, as many people currently use Amarok. As to the slowness in Konqueror, I'm not on my Kubuntu computer at the moment, so I can't confirm or deny it. I will, however, make a point of checking it out and posting my results on here.
