And, to be fair, Wendell is also on the board and he is always VERY positive.
Which is a good thing.
The tabs SHOULD become fast after the first tab has been opened. At least that is my experience and what I have been told by my SQL friend.
But, it is extremely slow, and any new bells and whistles should not make it even a microsecond slower. That's just not how things work. Windows 95 was faster than 3.1. Windows XP was faster. Vista was a hiccup in the road. Then Win 7 Pro blew them all away. I never read anywhere in the past that Win 7 is slower than XP, but it is worth it, because it has more bells and whistles.
Sure, some programs get bulky, say Internet Explorer compared to Firefox. But, once they are loaded into RAM, they are both pretty fast.
I think for many, the improvements are not worth the speed issues. Your view as far as going up incrementally is helpful, but for those of us like me who are still in the stone age (v6.1.2), the speed change is very noticeable.
But, from my interactions here on the board with support and development and via email, I think they are aware it is a caching issue, and hopefully can fix it.
It really isn't hopefully, it is a must. Everything is relative. Rememeber Dial-up? But, things gets faster not slower.
