Summary: gmail & facebook oddity with Vista SP1 IE7

Initial Comment:
I've found some strange behaviour in IE7 under Vista x64 SP1 with Privoxy 3.08 \
stable, that only seems to be triggered between the combination of gmail in one tab \
and facebook in another tab.  If I have gmail in one tab sitting at the inbox, and I \
use facebook in another tab, after a few minutes the browser will get incredibly \
slow.  It starts taking longer and longer to load pages.  Even after leaving facebook \
and going to other websites, the slowness remains.  But it is only triggered by the \
combination of gmail and facebook, as far as I can tell.  I usually leave a tab with \
gmail going, and it doesn't seem to matter if I go to any websites besides facebook, \
and performance remains normal.  But if I go to facebook it will quickly take a \
nosedive.  Unless I have not had a tab open with gmail.  If I haven't visited gmail, \
then the browser slowdown doesn't happen.  It's quite strange.  When it happens, I \
can copy the current URL into the clipboard, exit IE, start IE up again, and paste \
the last URL into the address bar and go right back to that page and everything is \
fast again.  So it seems to me that whatever Privoxy is doing to gmail code and \
facebook code is triggering some bug in IE.  I don't think it's Privoxy itself that's \
slowing down, since restarting the browser makes the slowness go away.  If I disable \
the proxy settings in the browser, to bypass Privoxy for testing, and try the same \
scenario the slowness does not occur.

Thanks for the report.

Can you post a logfile with header debugging
enabled that shows the problem?

It could be that IE7 is running against a
connection limit. If that's the case you could
increase the limit or checkout Privoxy 3.0.11
from CVS and enable keep-alive support.

Like I said, exiting and restarting the browser results in the speed
returning to normal instantly.  One would think that if it were related to
Privoxy's logging that restarting the browser would have no affect on speed
at all, no?

Look at the size of your logfile. Running AJAX intensive sites like gmail
and facebook adds incredible amount of entries to the logfile. I just
cleared a five days old logfile that was bigger than 1GB. At least in my
case (Mac OS X), this slows down the browser to a crawl.

Can anyone confirm this?
