It seems some URL's cause vastly more resource to be utilised than others.
What are the particular URL's, if you do not mind?
Kind regards

Something is very wrong there... I just checked and I have 7 tabs open, two
of which contain large .pfd files and I'm running just at 51 megs...

OK, enough is enough... I thought I was seeing things when I noticed that
IE7 was using over 500mb of RAM last week, tonight it's using 1gb. I've only
got 4 tabs open, and it's not like I'm running complex weather calculations
in java programs or anything... Why is it doing this?
 
I have 2gb of RAM, but when IE is using more than half of it, it starts to
get a bit slow. I don't think it's anything bad, because I only reinstalled
Windows at Easter, and I put on fully updated version of a firewall,
antivirus and antispyware before I let it loose on the internet. I even ran
it with al lthe addons disabled, and it still eats memory. I was thinking of
getting more memory for the PC anyway, but that was for performance in
games, not for IE!
 
Something isn't right here...
 
 
Jon
