Are you getting any errors?

I’ll have to take a look at speedyfox, thanks for mentioning it. Thanks also for leaving a comment, I really love the interaction with readers.

Perhaps I ought to write a post about how all these things run in the background – and that they really shouldn’t without at least telling you. It’s no surprise that people who aren’t used to using computers find their computers gradually slow down – it’s all those background processes and services that build up.

Soooo… amazingly… Chrome does not need to check for updates itself since the Updater does just that. All the time.

Chrome’s speed might also be increased by that update, which could preload required libraries at system startup. Just a shot in the dark, but face it: since you already have one of your products un and running, why not make sure the others also get some benefit out of it?

If they do implement that silly tab-as-window feature, I truly hope it will be toggle-able. I hate it.

Multithreading you say… well… using the exact Process Explorer as above, start Chrome and open a few tabs, each with a different website. Check P.E. – you will see a tree of processes, all chrome.exe, the first being the one you started, the others being one for each new tab. This is how the “tabs” can dock and undock from the parent application. The same applies to Internet Explorer – one mother application, several tab-sons. I.E. does not allow (yet, unless a mad dev at MS will implement the silly feature there too) undocking tabs from the parent instance, but it does the same in the memory.

The system is not new, MS uses it for all its Office products – one application server and several application clients, as many as the number of documents you have opened. Check Excel and Word – Word for sure, since early versions, I had my chance on running programmatic mail merge using Delphi for coding and Word for that feature, used for report and document generation.

The first concern Mozilla has to tackle is the faulty memory management. It’s not that OK to get a browser at 1GB of occupied memory. That, on my 7 year old PC, with XP on it and 768MB DDR RAM. It’s a real pain always having the system use the HDD for extra memory, since the physical memory is swamped. And when I tried to close it, it would remain in memory for 30-45-60 minutes before closing. I could guess why (due to hmm 20-40 tabs opened? deviantArt is a pain at that, I’ll give you that ), though…

Don’t let the glimmering outfit, feature list or rumors catch your eyes, there is more to it than just nice images. The “software doing everything for you” means you get less control – at least, as Chrome feels to me now.

And about Windows Automatic Updates. They are checked and downloaded even if you have disabled them in the fancy dialog. The only way you get them stopped is by canceling the AutoUpdates service.

So, you thought you own your own PC, huh?
