[Bug]: WARC files are very slow to load in Firefox
What did you expect to happen? What happened instead?
When loading a WARC file in Chrome, records are processed at a reasonable speed. When loading the same file in Firefox it is wildly slow and pretty much not feasible to use as a result.
Step-by-step reproduction instructions
- Obtain a WARC file of ~200-500 MB in size (tested with 500 MB) (if you need one to test, contact me!)
- Attempt to load the file in ReplayWebpage in both browsers
- Note the discrepancy in loading speed
Note: If you're running across this issue and we haven't gotten around to fixing it yet (or are unable to do so) — it's on our radar obviously — consider using py-wacz to create a WACZ out of your archive for faster loading when delivering archived content to users :)
