Firewall -> Rules very slow to load since v21 update

Re: Firewall -> Rules -> LAN very slow to load since 21.02 update.

Hello, @dlogan . Does your affected configuration, by any chance, use policy-based routing? That is, you set the gateway field on rules? I'm curious whether this is also affecting your SG-5100.

I just submitted bug report 12174.

On one SG-1100 deployment, there are several interfaces, numerous rules, and extensively use of the policy-based routing feature. It performed quite well for a low-end platform, until this problem occurred.

Once I made the time to dig into this problem, that has also affected me since the 21.02 update, I was able to determine that it was the Show gateway/group IPs on mouseover feature that started it.

If you think this might be your problem, and can't wait for an official patch, you might try applying this quick and dirty patch to guiconfig.inc, and enable the "disablealiaspopupdetail" flag under System -> General Setup -> Alias Popups:
