There is definitely a regression in Athena on IE (both 6 and 7)
regarding on{before,}unload; I thought this had something to do with the
change from onunload to onbeforeunload, but switching that back didn't
seem to help when I tried it. I'm currently running in production with r14017
reverted;
unfortunately this changeset is an extremely large Athena refactoring,
and I haven't had the time to investigate further to narrow this down.
The net result of this problem is that the Athena transport connection
isn't closed immediately on navigating away from a page, but instead
will hang around until the server timeout, which has a default value of
about 5 minutes, if I'm not mistaken. Thus, anyone trying to navigate
around an Athena-based site in IE will quickly find that they run into
the connection limit, and trying to navigate to new links just seems to
"hang" as the browser waits for a connection slot to free up.
I don't know anything about the onkeypress issue, it may or may not be
related.
