I downloaded and installed IE7 on the day it was released. And have been fairly pleased with it overall. I still tend to use Firefox as my default and main browser, but that may change.

One thing I have noticed of late, as soon as I get 4 – 6 tabs open in IE the CPU usage pegs, Memory use skyrockets and then the browser becomes non-responsive.

This was not the case following the initial installation, and I have added some toolbars, including the beta version of Yahoo’s new toolbar, so I suspect that the issue is a conflict.

If anyone knows of anything that could be causing this behavior please do let me know. And if I solve it I will post an update here.

Cheers,

Robert Porter
