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?




Yes. And your messages are screwed up because it looks like your Reply is
part of my Reply because of the way the characters are inserted.

While you read a post, the fact that your reader goes out to get more
messages should not disturbe the post you are reading, but you can click
TOOLSOPTIONS, and in the Send and Receive Messages section, increase the
time between checking for new messages. Longer delays are usually better. I
have my refresh rate set to 30 minutes. If I want to check sooner, I simply
click on the Send/Receive button.
