KDE apps make slow internet connections

[Art Alexion]

Ever since switching my router setup, KDE apps, especially Konqueror, seem 
slow to initiate a connection.  I'm not talking about the actual speed of 
data transfer, but of the initial connection to the server.

This does not seem to affect non-KDE apps like apt, Firefox and Azureus.

My old setup was using my Kubuntu machine as a router/gateway, with LAN 
machines having fixed local IPs via hosts files.  The current setup uses a 
router appliance which provides its clients with IPs via DHCP.

Like I said, the problem does not seem to be data transfer speed, but delays 
initiating connection with the host.
