Bittorrent autolinker

This greasemonkey script causes a lot of additional load on firefox due to the unefficient way it checks for torrent files. Confirmed on two different computers with greasemonkey and this script. Try scrolling the site with and without this script active and you'll notice stutter.

I can't say that I've ever noticed this behaviour in the past, nor do I notice it now. Can you give a specific example of what you're doing (page/site, any torrents downloading, etc.)?

I've got an old laptop (3.5 yrs old, Core Duo @ 1.8 GHz, 2 GB RAM, Windows XP Pro) running Firefox 3.5 and the latest version of scep's script. For example, I can go to thepiratebay and download a torrent (only the legal stuff, though!) and then proceed to scroll up and down on various pages with lots of torrents (like the Top 100 pages) and there's no lag/stutter.

I've got 12 tabs open to various sites, current firefox CPU usage when not scrolling fluctuates from 3 - 8% memory footprint is 210 MB. When I scroll up & down very quickly on the page full of torrents, the CPU jumps up to 25-30% and memory usage to 211 MB.

The BT status bar is visible on the bottom.

What is happening in your case?
