In my rails application, certain computers were having huge problems. There were certain pages that were exceptionally slow, even to the point of timing out. Other computers did not have a problem. I finally found that Firefox was the difference. When using Firefox on those computers it works fine. The slow pages were typically posting a form with a couple hundred fields. This behavior was the same with the rails server running on Windows, Ruby 1.8.2, Apache2, FastCGI and also on Linux, Ruby 1.8.4, Lighttpd, FastCGI. Any ideas what would cause this? -- Jack Christensen jackc@hylesanderson.com

Im not surprised if IE breaks on this... It does seem quite possible that this is the cause -- but the fields only contain at most 3 letters. Combine that with the overhead of the field names and it still should only be posting 4-5KB. I would have hoped IE could handle that.

Indeed the file is at most 4-5 KB, but the amount of rendering and handling events (input, ?) from the fields is quite intensive. Clearly IE has problems with this. Best regards Peter De Berdt
