Details

With remote lookups (enhanced mode) on, page load times increase substantially.  This is largely due to the process of encrypting the url before sending it.  It would be nice if we could 1) move the code to c++, 2) move it to a background thread that encrypts the url then fires the xmlhttp request (with a js callback).
Dropping from a3 blocker because it's not on by default.  Still something that should be fixed before b1.

We did part 1 by adding the RC4 xpcom interface (takes about 1-2 ms now).  It's also delayed to work after page load, so it doesn't regress page load.  Marking as invalid.
