WebGUI locks up within the browser

[joako]

Why is this?

For e.g. I click snort update the rules, and it's a process that takes a few minutes and during that time I can't open a new tab and e.g. edit firewall rules.

But I can during this time open a different browse (e.g. I update the Snort rules in Opera, so open MSIE and change firewall rules)

1. Why is this
2. How can I configure the webGUI to not lock up?

I've seen this in different version, installations, hardware and I am starting to get frustrated at it and want to find a solution.

I'm experiencing this issue as well.  Embedded amd64 VGA install, 2.1 snapshots.  Hardware's a dual core atom (d2500), 4gig ram, dual onboard intel gigabit nics.  Would be nice if someone could point in the direction of a solution
