LinuxQuestions.org - konsole slow to respond

Hey All,

Don't know if this is just some setting quirk or something more but I've been noticing that the konsole is slow to repond after a bit of work. I've updated to KDE4 and been following the updates constant updates with YaST in openSuse 10.3.
The main thing that I've noticed is that if I hit enter nothing happens if I hit enter again then I see that I had two lines, or I'll type something like 'ls' and enter and nothing will happen till i click on the screen with the mouse or type ls again. Is this a bug or Xorg just acting up? I'm running compiz fusion as well but cpu and memory and GPU are all happy (not maxed out or even close to max).
