I read the below comment by poster VanguardLH in internetexplorer.general
newsgroup.

"I've had 72 tabs open but ran out of memory (they weren't text-only
pages) before IE starting getting overly slow probably due to excessive
paging. However, you can hit web pages that deliberately attempt to
consume your CPU and bandwidth by doing refreshes at very short intervals
or by constantly downloading streams of new content (even if YOU don't see
a change in the page because the new content looks just like the old
content). Even with just a couple tabs open, having visited one of these
rude busy-making pages can make opening other tabs very slow or using the
other tabs for already opened pages."

Concerning - "by doing refreshes at very short intervals"

Question: I use Outlook Express 6, to read newsgroups, can the message
refresh rate be extended or shortened as desired, if so how?


You can hit F5 to refresh the group you are in, or click out and then click
back in, anytime you want.
