Thanks for trying this. I tested it and it didn't help at all on my
computer. Also, it would have been strange since I'm actually using the
same XMLHttpRequest() for each call. Not sure how JS handle it though,
since the script still works after doing "delete.".
I also tried to create a new XMLHttpRequest() and deleting it for each
request. That didn't change anything.
