I also see this very problem on several machines I have with radeon video. For me the worst part is using vi in a konsole. Moving the cursor around is so slow that I just can't use these machines directly and have to ssh into them from another machine just to work on them.
That's not the same problem as the one described by Michael, which is about the console on virtual terminals different from X.
For your problem, try choosing a different font (a fontconfig one instead of a legacy X one) in konsole.
Hum, but I do in fact see the same thing he sees on a VT. A dmesg command from a VT takes around 20 seconds to display. The same in a konsole takes a fraction of a second. So your probably right that my vi problem in a konsole is a different issue. I do see the same thing as the OP does though. I just figured they were probably related.
Changing fonts doesn't change anything though. I normally use the "Misc Console" font FWIW.
