OK, so I copied this page (as in, this forum post) with Firefox.

First time it got to 120 seconds and still hadn't finished but I noticed my anti-virus was churning away a bit so I cancelled the copy and disabled my anti-virus (Kaspersky 7). It then took 38 seconds.

To send a link to UR was much quicker - 5 seconds. I guess it normally takes longer when I have the anti-virus enabled.

But still, 38 seconds is still a long time for a small page, even when the anti-virus turned off (which I obviously don't want to do if I can help it). It is just as slow with IE.

I used to use Windows Onecare and it was similarly slow to copy and link.

I'm using UR 3.2.1 and database size is 22mb. I compacted it this morning.

I assume that the anti-virus is causing part of the slow-down then, but why would it still be quite slow when the AV is turned off?
UR uses the same underlying APIs as IE to retrieve web pages, so if IE is slow it makes sense that UR is also slow. The solution would be to determine why IE is slow and fix that.
