I'm not exactly sure what the technical details are, but large windows is a feature that allows for larger amounts of data to be transfered. The problem is that some types of data can not be transfered when this extention is used, so it must be nagotiated for different connections. -- It's not one damn thing after another, it's the same damn thing over and over.
