I have habit of opening hundreds of tabs at a time in Galeon. That's a
good way to hit this kind of problem...

Also irritating is millions of javascripts and flash adverts and
animated gifs eating up assloads of CPU in tabs that aren't even
visible.

It would be nice if non-visible tabs were completely taken off the
events list or maybe unloaded entirely. And have a proper LRU cache of
images, images not displayed recently get dumped completely, when
they're needed again, decode them from the original jpeg/gif on disk in
the browser cache.

Crackrock I say, crackrocks everywhere.
