Crashes are MUCH less frequent. You don't have to sit there and wait 2+ second to load a page before scrolling down anymore.
But the tab reloading is still total carp. I can get it to where it reloads with 2 tabs. That is awful an a horrible user experience.
Same here. The tab reloading hasn't changed since day 1, but at least I've only had one crash with 7.1.
