I can tell you right off the bat that I did a disk cleanup the other day and a defrag recently (I double-checked a moment ago, it’s at 0% - nothing to defrag). As far as I can tell, there doesn’t seem to be any memory problems. Still, the drag and errors surfing so many websites remains baffling and frustrating (and when I have just a few tabs open, clicking on a given website and watching as it wreaks havoc with a previously open tab to another website).

That’s interesting there, if your browser is rying to access multiple webdites via the tabs at the same time, then all of them aer competing for the disk access time.

The more tabs that are open has each tab trying to download at the same time which would involve not downloading and storing the new data but also deleting the old dats once you are at the storage limit.

Consider that if your browser it trying to download from several different sites or pages then all of that data has to come in over the internet which slows things down a lot not even counting the disk access.

I use IE9, but I don’t let it open every link on a page. If I want to open another tab, I will do so but I don’t let things happen without me letting them happen.
