>> However, having multiple windows open can eat up system resources on under-equipped machines and degrade performance. It is not unusual to see a lack of memory, for instance, mistaken for a bandwidth problem. Sadly this is all too true. I was referring purely to network bandwidth. You're absolutely correct that there are other possible bottlenecks -- page swapping due to lack of memory is probably the most serious. Both Netscape and particularly IE have suffered from serious memory leaks, which, of course, are "all fixed now." Yeah, right, and I am really Elvis living in Michigan under an assumed name ... Sorry, I probably should have mentioned this earlier, but it's just as well to have it stated separately. The subject is confusing enough.
