    Slow down after long use
    « on: January 21, 2013, 08:35:24 PM »
    Hi, for some odd reason when I leave my computer on for around 24 hours it starts to become substantially slower, while all my friends leave their computer on for a couple of months, please go easy on me.

      Basically firefox is the only thing that slows that, it starts to become extremely laggy, and my games as well becomes extremely laggy for an example when i turn on my computer i can run about 70 frames on battlefield 3 and then it drops down to around 30... this is become extremely aggravating because this is a whole new computer, all the parts are upgraded.

      DLoad and periodically run SpeedyFox...clears the cache and database files...
      FFox needs to be closed to run it...
      Also check in Tools/Options/Advanced and see what your current cache settings are at...default may not be high enough...
