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.
I think I didn’t explain it clearly... Let’s say I have the first webpage open, which is the “Latest Articles” page on FR. That is fully loaded and hence not running (unless I’m hitting refresh). Tab #2 will be FR’s “My Comments” page. That I will also have fully loaded and not running (although it’s not unusual for me to hit refresh on both tabs). Then I may have tab #3 open to allow me to browse other websites, say, Amazon.com to look for sale items. Now, remember, both tab #1 & #2 aren’t running. They’re already loaded. I’ll have the Amazon page running, and it’ll end up taking maybe 2 minutes to load (and during which time, I’ll probably get an error message at the bottom stating “page is not responding”) and sometimes, by its own accord, it will start to refresh one or both (or just any other random) tab(s) I have previously open but am not currently on (which makes no sense).
Basically, none of that should be happening. It shouldn’t be messing with a tab I’m not currently on, and secondly, it shouldn’t be taking so long to load the page of a website for which I’m on (and getting those error messages) and freezing up (which is also a frequent occurance). Nevermind logging in to a website and getting knocked off almost immediately. It didn’t happen on this machine until recently and the older computer (which has problems of its own, namely all the memory is considered used up, even though there’s nothing in it to have that be the case) works much faster and efficiently while doing the exact same things I described above.
All in all, a big pain in the ass.
