I have more than a 100 tabs open at once, it DOES add up.

  So you're for or against Firefox using a multi-processor architecture? For me, FF becomes unbearably slow when I have about 15-20 tabs open.

    For me, everything except FF is unbearably slow and memory-hog-y with more that that many tabs.

    I'm not sure whats causing your 15-20 tabs to slow down the browser, but I managed at one time to build up over 256 tabs[1], and I can't say I noticed any performance drop over having single digit tabs. I haven't tested doing that in chrome, through I suspect the individual processes with no shared memory (sandboxing) would cause some trouble. [1]: Restore tabs on exit. If one do not clean up after a while, the tabs will just continue to increase.

    That's got to be an addon problem. I can't remember the last time I had less than 15-20 tabs open. I have to get to 80-100 before I start feeling any misery.

      I'll have to look into that. I run Ghostery, Adblock and Reddit enhancement suite, but that's it.
