Re: [Netsurf-develop] Netsurf loading problem

I have been in the habit of clearing the global history on a

having looked at only a few sites this morning. I found a global
history for "Today" a mile long - 90,607 bytes long to be precise. I
deleted it quit netsurf and reloaded. Now I have a global history that
looks to be identical to the one deleted. Most of the sites have not
been visited for a long time and some I've never heard of let alone
visited. The few I checked had today's date attached.
What is going on here??
This may well be the reason for the long loading time but this should
not be happening.

The loading speed is proportional to the number of entries in your global
history, as this is the information that is being processed (the 'URL' file
in Choices.)
