Anyway To Improve Performance Of IE7?

Well when Firefox 3 hit the scene I was excited to see a new version, then the excitement didn't last long when I saw how bad it was working for me, then Opera 9 wasn't much better either, so I dumped both of them, now I'm playing with IE7, the most I've ever used this browser...

So far it has actually been working smoother then FF and Opera, but the one thing I notice from time to time is when I have multipile tabs open, and go to close some and move to another tab to view, clicking on another tab, or trying to close one, IE freezes for a few seconds, also I notice on some sites the mouse wheel scrolling gets a bit jittery/sticky...

Is there anyway to improve the performance of IE7, get rid of some of the lag it has?

THANKS

P.S. I just added this to my registry after making this post: ( This has really helped speed up IE7)

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
?MaxConnectionsPerServer?=dword:00000010
?MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server?=dword:0000010

Also I changed the settings instead to 00000008 and it runs better, and does anyone know about IE7Pro?

I was going to say switch to firefox3 😛? But honestly I'm no help haven't used IE since I can remember. I've never had any issues with ff or opera, did you do a completely clean install on both, what issues were you having?

Pages were not loading completely with FF, and the memory was shooting up over 100mb and getting laggy, typical FF memory leak that has been there forever...

Opera 9.5 didn't display pages correct either, real piece of crap since the 3x days when Opera was King...

Seems like nowaday hard to find a decent browser without all sorts of issues, did anyone say, BLOATWARE... 🙁

Been looking around to see if there are any good alternatives....

I don't have much experience with Opera, but for Firefox, I would suggest deleting and rebuilding your profile and running without any addons installed. Using 100 MB of memory is not unusual, because Firefox caches a number of things for performance reasons. You should see memory usage increase but level off; this is not a "memory leak" (FF2 would increase memory but never level off), just efficient use of available resources.

As for IE7, you can play around with the max # of connections per server, but many web sites limit this on the server side to 2 or 3 connections per client. Getting rid of Flash may help performance, as Flash (as with any add-on) can result in a good deal of CPU usage and "lag". This would be true for Firefox or any other browser as well.

LOL, that is not a memory leak.

However, your whole post is somewhat confusing. You complain about FF3 and Opera, yet you talk about "the most you have ever used" IE7...

What were you using before you tried FF3?

If were fine with your old browser, and tried FF3 and didn't like it, the logical thing to do is to go back to your old browser, not IE7.


And your complaints about FF3 not loading pages and Opera 9.5 displaying pages wrong goes against all the common evidence out there. It sounds a lot like operator error, or perhaps there is something seriously wrong with your OS install or hardware.
 
I find browser performance to be more of a function of the ISP, the connection type, and the target website's server moreso than the browser itself. The time of day makes a difference as well.
 
ive had IE7Pro for about a week now, and ive just noticed, if you right click on a webpage and drag a red line appears. if you drag left the page goes back and right the page goes forward. if you drag up the page goes up and vice versa

neat
 
Thanks for the replies I have found the best choice for myself, K-Meleon...

I've known of K-Meleon since the project started, but when Opera and FF started in their beginning I was on their bandwagon, but the latest versions have not been up to snuff for my tastes, getting to bloated and slowing down...

I appreciate the replies, I thought when IE7 came out there would be some nice improvements, but sad to say, IE6 had better performance, and IE7 is just crap...

All I can say is K-Meleon is fast, and I'm happy for now...

PEACE

P.S. Chiropteran FF has memory leaks, and corkyg I'm not talking about online performance effecting it, I'm talking more about the code...

a feature built in in Opera since like forever. available through an addon for FF.

op, I'll admit that opera 9.5 is still a bit rough. Try going back to version 9.27. more stable.
