[HTTPS-Everywhere] 4.0dev11 slowing Firefox down

[Erik Harris]

I thought something was wrong with my Internet connection, because 
everything in Firefox suddenly slowed WAY down. It didn't seem to matter 
what server I was trying to access, they were all painfully slow. I 
noticed that Thunderbird wasn't having trouble displaying remote content 
quickly, so I loaded IE, and it had no trouble either.

Back in Firefox, with about 8 tabs struggling to load, I disabled 
HTTPS-Everywhere (from the status bar icon; the extension itself is 
still enabled).  Almost immediately upon doing that, all of the tabs 
successfully loaded, and Firefox began performing normally again.

I'm using 4.0.dev11 on Firefox 23.0.1 in Windows 7 x64 Pro.
