How does the speed matter in this case? It’s not like gigabytes of stuff gets read and written all the time.
Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?

For me, it’s because of ADHD.
To combat this I installed 128GB of the fastest ram I could afford.
My computer still lags out after a week of never closing any tabs.

The CAS speed of memory start to matter once you get above 64gb of ram.
A system might actually slow down the higher you go if you have slow memory.

Oh, so maybe that’s why Linus couldn’t open more than a few thousand tabs in Chrome. He used a server board and 2 TB or RAM, but the system got ridiculously slow long before he could utilize all of it. The whole system was specifically designed to sacrifice speed for capacity, so I guess that was a mistake. There could have also been software related issues with the setup. who knows. Maybe Windows or Chrome just can’t handle absurd tab counts gracefully.

I have about 100 open tabs but its all heavy tabs. Figma, miro, teams, slack, asana, jira, slides, power point, and tons of other heavy web apps.

I didn’t mean the tabs but the unnecessary RAM amount.

Ya, you can force apps to run exclusively on the ram. I used to do this more often, but the setup is annoying. So to combat the lagging tabs, I also run the heavy web apps in different browsers. So Firefox does the generic browsing, edge does figma and teams. Chrome does asana and slack.

I can relate. I have 96 GB of RAM in my computer.
