Yes - and that's after several months of working diligently to reduce
the count; the peak was, IIRC, 5,190.

By separating it out into (at current count) seven different windows,
grouped roughly by subject category, and - within each window - by
working primarily at the head and tail of the queue, i.e., the far left
and far right end of the tab list.

I actually only have two windows whose tab count is high enough to
overflow the window width (with minimum tab width set just barely more
than wide enough for a favicon, via Classic Theme Restorer, and with
maximized windows on a 2560x1600 monitor), and those two are the ones
which I keep most stringently to their designated subject matter.

It's still ridiculous, and I'm working on reducing the backlogs here,
but it will take me quite some time to get things down to levels which
are reasonable even by my standards. (In no small part because - with
CTR to revert most of Australis, Session Manager for the UI it provides,
and my currently-semi-private BarTab fork for the essential
tab-unloading UI - having so many tabs means it takes an hour and a
half, if not more, to shut down and restart the browser.)
