You have to remember that there's a number of events that happen when
processes occur.
In terms of applications, especially when talking about internet and
Internet Explorer, depending on how much RAM you have, it will always run
that stuff in sequential order, plus you have things that are being written
to the hard drive, so if you have a hard drive that spins at 5200 rpm, as
opposed to a hard drive spinning at 72 or 10,000 rpm, you'll get faster
access times from the latter two, then the former.
It'll also depend on how much cache memory that hard drive has, so while you
may have a really fast processor, all those things are still effecting the
status of the computer's performance.
I'm not even getting into the transmission speeds of internet services,
website access times, and other background applications that may be running
in the background, such as Dropbox or the Send Space Wizard, or both, and if
you've got One Drive on your computer as well, your hard drive is being
accessed by those applications also.
Let's not forget Java, the Adobe sweet of products looking for updates, and
your anti-virus and drive cleaners, especially if you've got professional
versions of those programs that are always active, so, it's not as simple as
just processor performance.
No matter what you get, an i5, or i7 processor, unless you've got thousands
of dollars to spend getting better than average other stuff on your
computer, you'll still get that lag after a while.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] I7 and I5, Does it really makes any difference for
jaws users?
Currently I am using I5 laptop, what I face some time, after opening
several programmes like Kurzweil, few internet explorer tabs, my Dell
laptop perform very slow. Is that the result of i5 processor, would it
run smoothly with i7 in this scenario?

Not really, for every day use.
There are i5 processors that will do better than i7, for general computing
purposes, particularly if you put the extra cash into some more memory.
Typically, if you use large spreadsheets or do some video editing or
intensive gaming, then you want an i7 because it allows a lot more
hyperthreading; i.e. if you get an eight-core I7 it will run 16
hyperthreads, while an I5 is limited to four threads, even if it has four
cores.
If money is not an object, go for the fastest I7 you can get with a good
amount of memory. But, if you are just using it for everyday things like
email and browsing, then go for a processor which might be a bit less
powerful but has a lot less energy usage so you can conserve your battery
for more operating hours.
