I'm playing with Kubuntu 13.10

and using rekong as a browser. I'm surprised that it is so much faster in loading pages than firefox is. Big difference between the two. What are the disadvantages to using rekong?
TIA

You hit on it. Rekonq is incredibly fast. The disadvantage is you don't have all the plug-ins available that Firefox and Chrome have. Of course there's no reason why you can't have more than one browser installed.

I use Kubuntu 13.10 as my main OS. I love it.
