Description (last modified by scheer)
In other browsers such as Safari, Chrome and Firefox on iOS, when visiting certain image heavy sites, the load time on the images is incredibly small, if not completely un-noticeable.
With ABB, compared to other browsers, the timing is very noticeable (4-5 seconds.
This also occurs on ABB 1.2.1
Environment
ABB 1.2.1 (740)
ABB 1.3.0-qa (859)
iPhone 6 Plus - iOS 9.2.1

Confirmed. Compare Opera Mini and Adblock Browser with Adblock Plus turned off. These are comparable contenders.

Removed milestone as this issue was rejected.
I didn't have a serious look at it yet, but it would be insightful if you try to compare with the real technological contenders to ABB: Opera Mini, Dolphin, Mercury - these use the same "old" webview container, which ABB must continue using. All of Chrome, Firefox, Safari "cheat" by using the modernized iOS8+ webview container, which does not provide the needed control over loaded resources anymore. Chrome has switched to it just recently and actually lost a significant array of functions due to it. But the speed and improved stability was probably worth it.
Also please try comparing with Adblock extension switched off completely (not just AAs)
