Using ghostery with Firefox 21 makes the program freeze for a few seconds when loading a page. Looking at the task manager(Windows XP) one CPU core is at 100% when the freeze happens. This doesn't happen with all sites. This happens even when that page has nothing for ghostery to block. The sad thing that this 4-5 seconds freeze happens even when I navigate the site and it is about to render the new page. Two examples of such sites are: nyaa.eu and eztv.it
The problem goes away if I "pause blocking" in ghostery.
Additional info: I have made ghostery block everything. Using ghostery 2.9.5
