Basically what this script does is remove the internal messenger checks to check for virus-urls and things like that. These checks are mostly done on the server side too, but I am 100% certain that the messenger team has a very good reason to also do this on the client side. If you ask me, bluntly removing security checks is something you should not do. And to be quite honest, simply naming it "anti-freeze" without even informing users what exactly is removed, isn't something I appreciate.
I've written my own method to speed up the security checks (by replacing certain ones with faster, yet equivalent, checks), which (as vikke said) will be in P3, but to clear things up I've also taken a quick look at this script, and I've noticed that it doesn't even do properly what it is supposed to do. It removes all but one security check, but in the mean time allows for another freezing/crashing method: It will crash if there is only one security check received from the server...
So actually, using this script you do, in fact, risk something. It does remove the freezing upon huge messages, but it also removes some (in my eyes) vital security checks, and creates some new problems that won't do any good to messengers overall stability...
Use this at your own risk.
Ok..I hope to have the time to written my own method to speed up the security checks...However you can't be 100% certain that the messenger team has a very good reason to also do this on the client side...Moreover on my opinion these checks are useless(vital security checks???????)..Msn filter ours messages...Moreover filtering takes place also on the msn servers(you don't know like me why there is this security check so you can't say that it is "vital"(on my opinion even if msn servers wouldn't filter messages,it shouldn't be "vital")...This script was created to fix a "bug" on msn generated by the cracking of characters limit ,You would have had to consider the consequences of the boosting characters feature of stuffplug(It's good that i can send long messages but if sending them i can freeze contact’s msn it's no great. If you don't crack characters limit ,there won't be any problems ) For the crash you have talked about(are you sure???My messenger has never crashed) i'll verify it:it's no a problem if it's true i'll update the script..
