I use various host file blacklists to generate action files & I try to
keep the number of duplicates down..  So I crank the new list of
hostnames thru http://config.privoxy.org/show-url-info to see if it's
already blocked or not

The problem is that it takes a while to check every hostname, so I
came up with a faster way
https://github.com/ler762/privoxy/commit/ff0bf9b850d539bbf037ff8616412bf99b5a1d2c

tl;dr: about 90 seconds vs. 197 seconds to check the lightswitch05 hosts file

Any interest in including the patch?
