As you can see the Server delivers the File with a totally messed up Content (text/plain). Combined with about 2MB of data QWebKit tries to render quite some big "text file" which results in a high load.

So there are 2 issues of which none quassel is responsible for:
a) the wrong content type delivered by the webserver
b) slow rendering of large text chunks by QWebKit

-> rejected
