+# Note that a timeout of five seconds as used in the default
+# configuration file significantly decreases the number of
+# connections that will be reused. The value is used because some
+# browsers limit the number of connections they open to a single
+# host and apply the same limit to proxies. This can result in a
+# single website "grabbing" all the connections the browser allows,
+# which means connections to other websites can't be opened until
+# the connections currently in use time out.
+#
+# Several users have reported this as a Privoxy bug, so the default
+# value has been reduced. Consider increasing it to 300 seconds
+# or even more if you think your browser can handle it. If your
+# browser appears to be hanging it can't.
