#10 Firefox performance slows if configured to use NTLM proxy

[Amit Tendulkar]

Firefox works perfectly and efficiently if it is configured to directly access the NTLM proxy server. However I have to put the user name and password every time I open the browser window. To avoid this I pointed my browser to NTLM auth proxy. However I noticed that after a few initial requests the rate with which the firefox fetches pages decreases considerably. May I know the reason why this is happening?

Thanks in advance.
