How can I make Privoxy load faster?

I'm using vimb and it works well except the only way to block ads is to use privoxy. Privoxy takes about 5-10 minutes to start after my computer boots. This means I can't access the internet when I first start my computer. How can I make it load faster?

  • IWeb loads slowly.  How can I make it load faster?

    G4 Dual PowerMac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    jcoda95:
    See QuicktimeKirk's post about Poster Movies in this thread: Movies on iWeb. The movie file size is probably the prime contributor to the slowness of loading. Some other tips I've learned in the forum are:
    1 - do not use and frames or borders, etc. around photos.
    2 - don't use any reflections.
    3 - create your own navigation bar with linked text* and turn of the iWeb Navigation bar. The nav bar is all png based.
    4 - use only the web safe fonts from the Font pane.
    5 - do not use drop shadow on fonts.
    6 - turn off smart quotes.
    7 - don't let text boxes overlap with other objects or put graphic files in a text box with the text.
    The above will reduce the number and size of files associated with a web page quite a bit. Photos with fancy frames and reflections can generate a thumbnail png of around 110KB whereas the plain version will be a jpg of only 28KB. Although it doesn't sound like a lot, it can speed up loading of the page and be more darkside (i.e. PC) friendly. But it takes away some of the fancy stuff that iWeb can do.
    Run a test with a test site and publish to a folder. Then follow the hints above and publish to another folder and compare folders.
    *Put your linked text directly under the Navigation bar. Then turn off the nav bar in the Inspector window. The nav bar will disappear and the linked text will move up to the top of the page.
    Do you Twango?

  • Hi, I have a iMac Tiger running slowly, how can I make it run faster?

    Hi, I have a iMac Tiger 10.4.11 running slowly, how can I make it run faster?

    Look at what is happenning with your Mac when you run Activity Monitor.
    Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Activity Monitor
    Click on the CPU tab on the lower half of the window to see how much time you are using. 
    Click on System Memory to get statistics on memory usage.  You should have some free memory. 
    When you have lots of page outs more memory will be helpful.  My entry for entry for Page ins/outs is:
    Page ins/outs: 29163/0
    Notice I have 0 pageouts which says that I am not using my harddrive for extra memory space.  Thus, I have enough memory.
    Activity Monitor has a neat feature where it can display a dynamic dock icon.  In Activity Monitor View > Dock icon > Show cpu history.

  • How can i make my ipod faster

    - Close all apps in the recently used dock.
    - Power off and then back on the iPod.
    next ones are more drastic

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • After updating to mavericks on my MacBook, the screen keeps saying "setting up your mac." It has been like this for hours! How can I make it go faster?

    After updating to mavericks on my MacBook, the screen keeps saying "setting up your mac." It has been like this for hours! How can I make it go faster? It's has been like this for 4 hrs.

    I don't think your mac is setting up. It's stuck.
    I would:
    hold the power button until it shuts down
    unplug all peripherals
    do a safe boot (restart and hold down the shift key until you see the apple logo).
    If it starts up in a safe boot, then you can try restarting with a normal boot.
    If it does not start with a normal boot, then you probably have some incompatible third party software. Likely culprits are:
    MacKeeper
    CleanMyMac
    third-party antivirus software
    any other "cleaning" or "optimizing" or similar third party "utilities".
    A good place to start would be to uninstall any of those (while in safe mode) and then restart.

  • How can I make a loading effect in my search

    I dont use MVC, and my app is statefull.
    How can I do to create a loading "effect" either using loading_ani.gif or message type LOADING?
    I have a button, that button execute a Report in CRM and the data is import with IMPORT FROM MEMORY.
    So I execute the button and the data is allready showed in the page... I want to show a loading text when the user click the search and make it disappears when the data is showed.
    any ideas ?

    I used the tag that u told me, works fine.
    There is a way of "extend" this tag so I can see the loading_ani.gif in that box ? I searched and find the Picture "loading_ani.gif" for loading a page Thread.
    Where Maximilian Schaufler says this.
    Here is how I extended the protectDoubleSubmit element to show this loading_ani.gif:
    <%
    tmp_string = ``.
    pds_title = `Bitte warten...`.
    pds_text = `<div style='background-color:#ffffff; padding-top:11px'> Ihre Anfrage wird bearbeitet
    `.
    %>
    <bsp:findAndReplace
    find="<br>"
    replace="<%= tmp_string %>">
    <xhtmlb:protectDoubleSubmit
    timer = "0"
    title = "<%= pds_title %>"
    text = "<%= pds_text %>" />
    </bsp:findAndReplace>
    And doesnt works.Im still seeing the text in german but no loading_ani.gif, besides Iseeing the code I dont know why should appear the image...

  • How can I make AWT go faster on iPAQ?

    Hi,
    I have an application on iPAQ 3950, and the graphics (AWT) is very slow.
    I have removed the lines as much as possible (which helped a lot), made text fields hide under labels (which helped too), replaced buttons with labels (no change that I noticed), but still I can see the remaining lines draw from one side to the other, and the components arrange inside their layout.
    Does anybody have any ideas about how to make it go faster?
    I didn't notice any change from iPAQ 3850 (200 MHz) to iPAQ 3950 (400 MHz), maybe it has to do with screen processor (if any?)
    Thanks,
    Moti

    Hi,
    I suggest you to use swt port for pocketpc. It has more widgets than awt and runs at native speed. It will run faster than ANY awt implementation because it uses native widgets. Also you need JVM with good JNI support (J9 known to work well, though it has fixable bugs in http connection handler: it does't work right with chuncked encoding)
    SWT has bad (inefficient)FormLayout implementation (that dog slow with bunch of widgets). I've rewritten FormLayout that is about 10+ times faster and uses less memory.

  • How can i make my computer faster?

    I recently have gotten my macbook pro just last month in june, and now it seems that certain things are really really slow.  Comparitively, safari seems to be taking forever opening up normal pages that didnt take long earlier.  i was wondering if it might be a virus slowing it down, but i see that there arent any mac os viruses known of.  So i was wondering what i could do to make it run faster again.

    you don't have a virus in your macbook......
    you already have the best anti virus protection installed - it's called OS X Lion.
    open up activity monitor and under all processes, see what's using up most of your % CPU.  Hightlight the ones using a lot of your % CPU and hit quit process.
    also see what's loading in your login items - delete the ones you think you don't need.
    open disk utility and verify your disk then verify your disk permissions - repair if needed then restart your macbook.
    also, how much RAM have you got installed?
    good luck

  • I have dial-up, and when I delete my browser history, the facebook games refuse to load for MONTHS until magically one day, they decide to open again. How can I make them load right away?

    I am using a gateway laptop, and Windows 7. I use Netzero as my dialup service, using my phone line. I deleted my browser history and cookies, but I left all passwords intact. Whenever I do this, the games on Facebook come up with a LOADING bar, but they hit 100 percent and never actually load. It does this for months, and one day, they magically (Without me changing any settings) decide to load when I click on them. How do I make the games load, and prevent this from happening every time I clear the history?

    Mac's typically don't need defragging, however if it's a older Mac it most certainly can use it.
