Any bottlenecks in my system? My web browsing of all things seem

>windows
found your problem

>>57306920
I have a Xubuntu partition if it gives me any reputation points.

>>57306920
i use windows too but only cause linux is shit for audio production

>>57306910
>more than 3 tabs
Is it only that bad on Windows or Xubuntu, too?

>>57306933
And does Firefox with 3, nay 4, tabs open choke on Xubuntu?

>>57306951
Yea, I'm using ESR 32-bit release if it matters.

>>57306910
I'm running a first gen i5 and 8GB RAM, web browsing is as fast as it could be and I can handle a shitton of tabs

Consider cleaning up/reinstalling windows (or better yet a linux distro) and using an up to date browser with script and ad blockers.

Your computer is way, way, way overkill for the issues you're having. The user is the problem.

Strange. No bottleneck on my X220 with ESR on Debian.

>>57306953
That's crazy. I used to have a machine very similar to the one you have now, it was a beast. I think a fresh installation is needed.

Use Chrome you fucking idiot and if you have autism worrying about muh botnet there's always Ungoogled Chromium.

All the shit in this thread is conjecture. Measure performance under the workload that feels slow. Start with CPU and disk, in task manager (>win7) or perfmon.exe (<win8). In perfmon you're looking for PhysicalDisk -> %Disk Read / Write Time.
