Re: WWW::Mechanize::Firefox latency using RemoteObject

disable all addons you don't need in the browser
disable images
disable javascript

you do that in Edit->Preferences->Content_tab

alternatively, you can consider studying the requests Firefox does for a login on that site using Firebug and replicating all those requests using LWP for example using the appopriate headers and GET/POST parameters.

That won't help much because the slowness likely comes from Perl talking to Firefox and back, and not from pages being slow to load.	[reply]

well maybe there's some js doing some AJAX requests so that's why I said to disable that js. or maybe there are some ads loading .. which can also be avoided..	[reply]

Unfortunately, it isn't ad loading or javascript. This is seen on pages which are fully loaded, and even on _local_ (file:///) pages with no images or javascript. It almost entirely seems to originate in the communication somewhere between perl and firefox.	[reply]
