Playback failing with "script did not start within 130 secs" error

Hi
I was trying out sahi on one of my applications. I was able to record a script but the playback fails with error "script did not start within 130 seconds" in log file. Here are the details of my application and platform:
Application UI code written using SmartGwt
Browser: firefox 3.6.3
OS: Windows Vista
Here is the script:
_click(_cell("Search[16]"));
_click(_div("Allow Cards"));
_click(_cell("Limits[1]"));
_assertExists(_cell("Add New Limit"));
_assert(_isVisible(_cell("Add New Limit")));
_assertEqual("Add New Limit", _getText(_cell("Add New Limit")));
_assertContainsText("Add New Limit", _cell("Add New Limit"));
Also want to mention that the application initial load takes time (its a good size UI), but it becomes much worse when loading thru sahi proxy. I guess it is due to the code injection that sahi does.

I suspect that it has to do with some AJAX request which never completes (like a comet request). Could you try this:
Open sahi/userdata/config/userdata.properties and add
xhr.wait_ready_states = 1,2
Restart Sahi and please check again.
If that still does not work, try
xhr.wait_ready_states = 2,3
and
xhr.wait_ready_states = 2
Let us know what you find.
If the application is very slow, you could add/modify io.buffer_size in sahi.properties.
io.buffer_size=32768
Note that all modifications to userdata. properties will need a restart of the proxy.
We also have more optimizations coming in the next build, so if you want, I can send you a build to check if it improves performance.
