Description Fedja Beader 2016-04-12 14:58:27 UTC

USE=-threads seems to result in a very long wait before data is made available to the browser:

Wireshark measured roughly 300 seconds between "CONNECT ..." request from browser and "...Connection established" response from Privoxy.

NOTE: Privoxy faq 5.24 entry lists this as a common problem for Gentoo users.


Suggested resolution:
a) force USE=threads
b) print a warning when merging with USE=-threads

Threads are already enabled by default:

IUSE="... +threads ..."

If you disables them, you should know what you are doing.

Nevertheless warning is added.
