Library of Babel

Very cool. First thing I did was to search for "it was the best of times, it was the blurst of times".

However, I notice that the site routinely locks up my Chrome browser. What client-side processing is it doing that causes everything to freeze?

Hey DanAnderson,

I'm the programmer of libraryofbabel.info - thanks for letting me know about this. Which pages is it happening on?

When I'm at the search results at http://libraryofbabel.info/search.cgi and I try to click the "Location" link for a result, everything freezes for about 15-30 seconds.

By the way - also a fan of the Simpsons. I'd be lying if I said that scene wasn't a partial inspiration for the site.

For what it's worth, I have the same locking behaviour in my Chrome browser.
