751689 - Twitter becomes slow to load content after a period of time

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 739522

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[Justin Dolske [:Dolske]]

In the last week Twitter has become painfully slow to use -- anything that involved loading more content (clicking a @username, loading more tweets, etc)  can take 15+ seconds to do anything, and often much longer.

I initially thought it was just the usual Twitter Fail (ie, on their end), but it doesn't seem to be. It's fast if I launch a new profile or visit in Chrome, and even relaunching Firefox with my new profile makes it fast again. So it's not just a server/network issue.

Not yet sure if it's an immediate "after X seconds it breaks" or if it's a gradual slowdown over time. I do keep twitter.com open in an apptab, which might be relevant here.

I'm making a SWAG that this might be a SPDY issue, any recent changes that might be relevant? (I'm using Nightly on OS X, usually within a couple days of being up-to-date.)
