elfprince No. With 3 browsers (4 today with two vivaldis) on at the same time at least 2 are minimized (not in use per se). Simultaneous in the sense I meant was using one then using the other, then later the other with apps being the gui's being minimized. So when app is minimized for a while in task bar maybe no drainage? Honestly don't know. I'm never doing anything band-width intensive, either.
It's funny you mention that. There's a post today about max (100%) memory usage and GPU so I looked at mine earlier (system settings). Even with 3 browsers open I never hit more than 25%.
Long story short 6 or so months into my multiple browser phase I've never had a slowdown or a freeze. Not even when running zoom on top of it.
I have to wonder elfprince , though, as a man of modest means who never owned more than 8GB of memory most of my adult life...when I bought some craigslist guy's used DIY rig and BEGGED him to keep the 8 stick in there...so I could use with my own 8. You think it's the 16Gb that is making the difference? Don't know.
