The Endurance Test: Pushing to 6+ Tabs and Background Processes
This is where I discovered gamblingcommission.gov.uk the limit. With six tabs active—a blend of bandwidth-heavy live games, sophisticated 3D slots, and the sportsbook—my desktop began to slow down. Nothing broke, but buttons in the background tabs took a second or two to respond. Audio from different live dealer tables began to talk over each other until I muted a few. On the iPad, everything got sluggish and Chrome displayed alerts about high memory use. It’s apparent the platform throttles background tabs deliberately to focus on the one you’re using. That’s a reasonable approach, but heavy users should be aware of it. I also noticed that keeping other other resource-heavy apps open, like video software, exacerbated all these issues. You’ll want a decent device.
