New code performance problems

[Mediocrates]

OK here is what I found so far. If I block third party cookies and private headers from both israelforum and newsfactor then performance is terrible. If I permit 3rd party cookies and private header (unblock) from both of those FQDNs then performance is ok whether or not I keep www.israelforum.com in a trusted zone - that is, I can keep the internet on the internet and not create a trusted link where one does not belong.

Futher tests show that blocking 3rd party cookies and private headers from newsfactor.com alone does degrade performance though by how much I can't tell.

Is IsraelForum missing a reverse lookup DNS entry? I show the forward lookup for www.israelforum.com as 130.94.89.25 but no corresponding reverse lookup for that IP address that points back to the FQDN.

Is is possible that some third party widget comes to the client with a reference to that address and then gets booged down looking for resolution to the correct FQDN? Windows and Unix environments handle DNS differently - one is recursive and the other is iterative and broken or missing entries or problematic zone transfers behave very differently in Windows vs. Unix as a result.

I've submitted what I know to Jelsoft to their formal bugtracking system.

BTW 3.0.3 is already out.

I removed my firewall and reinstalled it -performance has improved dramatically. Chalk it up to Windows Goblins
