When visiting http://asa.org.il/ with Adblock Plus, the filtering counter skyrockets into millions, Adblock Plus "blocks" millions of stuff per second. CPU and hard drive IO are utilized maximally, and the entire system slows down. One of the tests even managed to crash Firefox. Closing http://asa.org.il/ instantly re-stablizes the system.
Tested in Chrome and Firefox.
Versions:
```
OS: Debian Jessie
Firefox: 38.3.0 (Iceweasel Branding), with Adblock Plus V2.6.11
Chromium: Version 45.0.2454.85 Built on 8.1, running on Debian 8.2 (64-bit), with Adblock Plus V1.9.3
```

Extremely severe slowdown in http://asa.org.il/
Re: Extremely severe slowdown in http://asa.org.il/
what filter lists are enabled ?
Re: Extremely severe slowdown in http://asa.org.il/
ok, it's a rule in easyprivacy, so add this filter:
Code: Select all

In my opinion, this is more serious than a filter error. I think Adblock plus should have a sort of failsafe mechanism which detects a misbehaving filter and does something about it. The most naive implementation would be stopping when a filter is catched, say, ten thousand times. But I'm sure better failsafe mechanisms are out there.
Re: Extremely severe slowdown in http://asa.org.il/
My SSD was writing 10MB/s of data per second for about 5 minutes before I detected the issue, that's 3 GBs. Someone else might have encountered this, but was less tech-savvy to notice it, Adblockplus might have already written Terabytes on someone's drive. Surely a mere filter error should not have the technical capability to cause such mayhem, and a layer of protection should be in place. It could be as simple as "Stop this filter if it's detected 1 thousand times", or something more complicated.
By the way, what's written to the drive, exactly? I assumed it's updating the stat counter as frequently as the hard drive can write. Is that the case?

Re: Extremely severe slowdown in http://asa.org.il/
in firefox: if (see options) "count filter hits" is enabled ABP will rewrite patterns.ini (to add the new count to the various filters)
so, you can test disabling that option but anyway it's some loop in that case.
the filter above worked for you ? periodically there are sites / pages with this type of issue.
anyway, you can report an issue on the bug tracker, asking for further investigation / improvement
