iPad iOS 8 does not fix Safari Reloading tabs

[mabaker]

While i agree with this on the Air case, this statement isn't necessarily true because through optimisation software actually CAN fix hardware shortcomings.

They would have to rewrite all the Web to let the developers write optimal HTML code without so many NSA/Google cookie trackers and all the various scripts. It is insane what load of crap today's websites have...

Great. It doesn't happen to you, so it's not a problem.

I guess you never looked at the videos I posted with only safari running and reloads with two tabs.

More RAM would certainly help the situation, as the threshold for reload would be that much higher. And the nice quote from Charliebird would seem to indicate that raising the threshold might just be all that's needed.

But please keep on calling out people who really do experience this issue.

I don't see where I called anybody out? I'm just saying that this problem doesn't affect everyone and that's completely true. You can add all the RAM you want but if the underlying safari problems aren't taken care of then the issue will eventually keep coming up. Why? Because websites just get heavier and heavier.

That's all.

Software can't fix hardware shortcomings (1GB RAM)

If that were the case then a 1 gb RAM Android tablet would suffer the same problem would it not?

1 GB Android tablets aren't using a 64 bit processor with a 64 bit OS. The 64 memory addressing system for 64 bit takes a lot more overhead.
