So far I've only noticed this being acute in the Mozilla apps but I'll experiment with others.
I pretty much live, some days, with email and web browser, those being Thunderbird and Firefox. This last week or so I've noticed latency problems
For example, when I click on 'send' or 'spelling' there is a delay of more than a second before the dialog box comes up. There is no delay with typing in the composition window or scrolling the message list.
I get a similar effect in Firefox. If it were just Thunderbird I'd think that Thunderbird(gtk) on KDE on X was having problems creating new windows and dialog boxes (especially modal ones!), but with firefox there gets to be latency n scrolling. I don't think its just rendering as its not simply page or begin/end jumps. Scrolling one line at a time with the mouse wheel or clicking the arrow on the scroll bar has latency. And its a 'sometimes' phenomena and that 'sometimes' can apply to the same page at the same site.
When I use the bottom pane to switch application windows there is no latency.
And no I'm not running Plasma and yes I am fully up to date

Any ideas why the latency?
I have also experienced latency but in my case it is with the save page dialog which can take as long as 5-10 seconds to popup. One thing I have noticed when this happens is a plug-in that hogs resources (can't remember which one). Since you're using KDE I assume you're on a Linux system. When you see this problem try opening a task manager and set it for cpu usage to see if that is your problem or if FF or TB is hogging resources.
