You're welcome.

I wouldn't quite call the problem "loading times", but my browser will tell me that like 4 tabs are completely unresponsive. (After I have like 15 or 20 tabs open.) So clicking the button to shut those tabs down is usually the best option. I'm using chrome, so when you shut down an unresponsive tab (or whatever you call it), then you get a picture of a sick computer screen with a thermometer sticking out of his mouth with a "Reload Page" button. Reloading (or just pressing F5) seems to work ok.

I've also had where random noise was coming from my browser, and I later found 1 tab I hadn't touched for like 3 minutes playing some loud ad video. This makes me assume the problem is with adds, along with Wiki not really doing anything intensive, and this happens more often on wiki sites I haven't logged in to.

I actually haven't had these "unresponsive tabs" problems lately, so maybe they were fixed like 2 months ago. Plus lately, I haven't been using as many open wiki tabs at the same time. Still, I don't want the problems to return.

As a side note, I've had weird problems with the Visual Editor subtly changing pages I work on. It changes the spacing and lines, and it can really mess with how a page looks. Source Editor doesn't do this. But when you switch between Source and Visual a lot, these changes become super noticeable.

Is there anyway you could add an option to the "My Preferences" so when I edit a page, I start in Source Editor, but the Visual Editor tab still exists? Because the Visual Editor IS still useful sometimes.

Currently, I get around this by editing small sections of a big page, or by flipping between preference options in one tab while editing pages with other tabs.
