The speed increase is incredible.  I haven't looked at the KDE source but
there is a chance that there may be some debugging code that could be
making the HTML widget slow.  But so far the speed is a definite plus.

Would it be possible to have BibleTime use the HTML widget to display right
to left since it is used more rarely, and the QTextBrowser for left to
right?  This would keep the functionality, but increase speed when
possible.
