For me the comparison between the two is stark. I wonder what accounts for your different perception? Do I routinely open more tabs (typically I will have about 7 to 10 windows, each with 2 to 8 tabs)? At the moment, I have 18 processes running Chrome--that's the total number of tabs across my windows. Sometimes I might have twice that many. Some people prefer bookmarking/closing/reopening windows; I prefer to keep the tab handy for all sites that I routinely come back to in the course of a day. Having quick access to references/tools is essential as a sw developer or sysadmin, and my current project embraces both roles. The slowdown occurs over a period of minutes or hours after opening my usual set of windows; I can make it go away for that short amount of time by killing and restarting the browser, but a day later Firefox is /always/ painfully slow -- thrashing through memory (not disk) in some inefficient piece of core code. -rich _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
