#466 planetary.org
Loading the planetary.org web pages causes the cpu to max out and the page seems not to load but eventually comes in. Just started Dec 2003. At first I thought privoxy was panicking and would try different things but eventually I found that it just went nuts for a while and then settled down - seems to take about 30 seconds to 1 minute (but I'm on a dialup connection bridged through a 802.11B connection but good signal and no interference and works fine in other ways.)
I can even open another web page and continue other web access just fine.
I also noticed that even with the delay the page still fills slowly with graphics coming up as one would expect with the dialup pipe it's coming though.
privoxy 3.0.2
running OSX 10.3.2
Safari 1.1.1, also tried Mozilla Firebird 0.7, Camino 0.7 (2003082002)
com.mac.smkolins is backwards and with one typo for an email address.

Well, I waited over 2 minutes (Linux+Mozilla+current cvs),
and the page never loaded. Turning off unsolicited-popups
and js-annoyances allows this page to behave more normally.
I would suspect that any filter hits will cause a problem,
and that the bug may be in the regex library code and not
Privoxy itself (IOW, difficult for us to fix).

Hi,
I noticed a similar thing when i was trying to filter some ms-
office-generated html using custom filters. With certain filter
features the filtering takes ages. Ive been doing this filtering
on a local webserver, so a network error couldn't have caused
this.
Unfortunately i don't have the bad filters anymore, but it
seems we may have hit some of them in the default
configuration.
Btw, 2 minutes is not enough, on my 800MHz machine it took
about 10 minutes.

Hi again.
It's the unsolicited-popups filter. It must be. I found another
page where the CPU maxes out when that particular filter is
enabled. There is not a direct link to that page (an
unfortunate combination of serverside and clientside jsp), so i
copied an unmodified version of the page to
http://xoft.matfyz.cz/griddlers.zip (8KB zip -> 150KB html)
just to be sure everything is in sync, this is my current
unsolicited-popups filter:
s+<head.*>+$5<script>function PrivoxyWindowOpen(){return
(null);}</script>+iU
s+([\n=;{}()]\s*)(window|this|parent)
\.open\(+PrivoxyWindowOpen(+ig
s+</body>+<script>function PrivoxyWindowOpen(a, b, c)
{return(window.open(a, b, c));}</script>$5+i
hope this helps

P. S.: dont laugh at my lousy score ;)

Actually Mattes, I got high CPU load with both js-annoyances
and unsolicitied-popups. I disabled them one by one with
debugging turned up, and watched the logs to see where P was
hanging. But -- I think these were the only filters
triggered, so possibly any filter would have the same result.
Two minutes is the limit of my patience ;-)
I notice now this page has many, many blank lines
(100,000+). This came up once before where Privoxy was slow
with so many empty lines. I know it shouldn't matter, but ...

planetary.org seems to load fine through Privoxy 3.0.3
Maybe the site has changed? Anyway, fortunately, there
are only very few sites with 100.000+ consecutive
returns..
