I figured out why internet explorer is so slow. Ever noticed how for every tab you open in it that it creates a new icon on the bottom of Windows 7? This is because every time you open up a new tab, another iexplore.exe is created and each different .exe opened uses up minimally 11,000 K and the maximum I’ve seen is 150,000 K, the amount of FireFox being open to the same tabs plus 20 other tabs such as YouTube, FaceBook, GMail and other webpages that would make IE slow.
This will lag many games on your computer that are running in the browser or aren’t running in the browser.
Recommended browser: FireFox
Maximum CPU usage I’ve seen is 50% when playing RuneScape. Max K I’ve seen is 150,000 with about 30 tabs open.
