Maxthon and my IE bookmarks
Looking at processes running under Windows, I see that when a Maxthon browser starts up and tries to process my bookmarks folders, its memory footprint blows through 90 MB. Meanwhile IE8 opens 3 processes, each near the 30 MB mark. But when I go to bookmark something for the first time in an IE8 session, then comes the big bite: only this time it is out of my workday as I wait for my bookmarks to load. At least with IE8 I can hop over into another session.
Online bookmark services do not yet seem to be the answer (and Maxthon eventually reports that I exceed their bookmarks limit) - at least not from the time I have put into Delicious and other such offering - even those revamped for Firefox.
So I will just have to try to do better with a Curl-based or a Rebol-based or an ICON-based browser (even Tcl/Tk may be in the running for this one). When I get a prototype ready, I’ll post a note. And hope that you bookmark it …
