Swiki with 2.5: Saving a page takes very long on Netscape

Sorry to report the same problem here; I don't think the
browser matters, at least I notice it with IE5. I have
also tried the exact same setup with the 2.4 VM/Image, and
this problem does not occur.

I've also noticed that the server needs to be restarted
periodically, as if the process loop is terminating somehow.
I don't think this is a 2.5/Windows problem however, as we
seem to have the same problem with our 2.3/Linux Swiki at
work.
