Dunno what all this means, mostly don't care, but whether it is an IE bug or
a Windows weirdness or the script being slow, it is real, and it is annoying
enough that I've completely altered the way I deal with links on LUGNET.  I
can still get a link copied and pasted and trimmed in less than 4 seconds,
and I get the benefit of not being ticked off waiting for some silly process
that doesn't obviously benefit me to finish.  :/

I, at this client in the UK at a time when no one else is in the office and
the connection SHOULD be lightly loaded (it's all new hardware here but we
go somewhere else before it goes public) don't get quite the same results
Mike does... same browser as before (IE 5.5) same hardware...

I get 2 secs direct and about 6-7 secs via jump.cgi (both the encoded and
nonencoded colon).

I am not going to argue that LUGNET should not do this thing, but I would
appreciate some help in understanding what I need to reconfigure at my end
so that when I am on a slow link I do not get timeouts when jump.cgi is used.

I am not exactly sure how to interpret these (I ain't a network guy) but
thought I'd post them:
