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.

My post may not have been as clear as i intended, sorry. I'll give a
senario: I have opened a newsgroup and I am reading a posted message
and its accompanying replies. The accompanying replies may contain info
that i wish to make note of, an if its a long post, when the message
refreshes it jumps back to the beginning of the message and you must
scrowl back down to the point where you were reading. I was wondering
if the interval of the refresh rate was adjustable?



It is refreshing when OE polls for new messages because you have "Include
this account......" checked in Tools | Accounts | News.

What is happening is normal behavior for OE. The easiest work-around is to
work offline when reading a long post. Just add the Offline button to the
OE Toolbar.
