How can I make Privoxy load faster?

I'm using vimb and it works well except the only way to block ads is to use privoxy. Privoxy takes about 5-10 minutes to start after my computer boots. This means I can't access the internet when I first start my computer. How can I make it load faster?

Privoxy should start quickly. See the logs, see how long it takes to start after"systemctl restart privoxy".
