Strictly, "paging" is the above and "swapping" is when the whole idle
process is written out to disk. But in practise the concept and effects
are much the same.

Paging is what Windows shows as Page File Usage, or PF Usage? I do look
at the Performance tab of Task Manager, but don't pretend to understand
exactly what I'm looking at. Currently, my CPU usage is hovering around
10% which is probably OK, but PF Usage is 2.42GB which is probably not so
good.

Just to say that I too was a dedicated Firefox user, but have now dumped
it (and Pale Moon)

I haven't gone that far. I do still use Pale Moon for the main news
page and for 5 of the weather pages I have running all the time.

for Chrome

Yeah, that's what I use for the 3 problem weather pages that
see all the firefox type browsers fall on their face quite quickly.

Its also what I normally use on the iphone too.

Don't use it for everything tho, it's a very minimal
browser with no real session manager at all.

because it eventually caused this little Netbook to freeze. Not BSOD - it
just froze and nothing except the 'off' button and reboot would work.

Don't get that result on the main PC which has a lot more
horsepower than a netbook, but I do eventually see even
the most basic clicking on links and buttons in other windows
just stop working until I kill the problem Pale Moon process.

Only get that with 3 of the weather pages tho. Those just
show the radar and cloud pages as well as the main weather
page from that weather provider, so I only run those when
a front is coming over and I want to see when its about to
rain like hell and produce heavy rain and hail etc.
