but the busy cursor is back everywhere, I'm getting frequent "not

happening on several websites. It's not quite as bad as in January,
but almost. I'm on Win7 64-bit if that makes a difference. Did not
notice anything on the WinXP laptop.
I'm having the same problem on the same OS. SM will work fine for a
day or two and then wham!, some sites, nytimes.com, for example,
bring it to its knees. Restarting SM doesn't help. I switch to FF
for a couple of hours, and SM fixes itself or maybe Win7 does
something. Several clean installs from zip versions, no extensions,
plug-ins (except for the ones that it finds, such as pdf).
Bookmarks.html from 2.18 imported. Don't know if 2.18 had the
problem on W7, since about 2 weeks ago got bounced at work from XP
box to W7 box, coincident with my moving from 2.18 to .19. Maybe
Monday I'll install 2.18 and see what happens.... No problems here
at home with 2.19 on XP with quite a few extensions etc.
Please give a clear, detailed description of "bring it to its knees."
I'm running SM 2.19 on Win7 64 and have never had any problems with
nytimes.com.
Perhaps it helps that I use AdBlock Plus -- it doesn't let the
advertisers' scripts run.
When I first load the site, I get a blank page saying
[ ] Skip this ad
If I wait, it goes away and the front page loads normally, but it sets a
bunch of cookies. So I set the cookie pref to reject all, and I only got
half as many! Why? Because it only changed the permission for
www.nytimes.com and not for nytimes.com! So I blocked that one, too, and
the site refused to serve any content other than the front page -- it
wanted me to either log in or accept cookies (and of course you can't
log in without accepting cookies). When I reenabled session cookies, it
behaved normally.
I still get no script errors, no hangs, no slow loads, no problems other
than having to let Big Brother track me.
