Ah, I see. I guess I didn't read the original message carefully enough. I
thought he was using an embedded kwrite (kate) part.

Ah, well, when I right click on a text file in konq, I get these options under
the "Preview In" menu:
Embedded KDE Advanced Text Editor Component
KWord
Qt Designer Based Text Editor
Perhaps your system is different (I'm running pretty recent debs).

Hmm... when I open a text file in konquerer using the "Embedded KDE Advanced
Text Editor Component" (the same component used by kwrite), the file displays
in less than 1 second. But maybe this is the same thing you are talking
about.
Anyway, sorry if I confused the issue.
