80586 - Raising moz after long period (30m) of inactivity causes very long wake-up time

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 76831

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Peter Lockhart]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9) Gecko/20010505
BuildID:    2001050515

If I leave Moz sitting idle in the background of my desktop for a longish period
(+/- 30 mins) and then raise it, it takes about 30 seconds to become responsive
again. Mad disk activity before it becomes usable again.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open moz, browse a little 
2.Leave it in the background, dont touch it
3.Give it 30 mins to be safe
4.Raise it to interact again
5.disk grinding, lots of thinking - window outline is available, but contents
empty until it wakes up completely


Actual Results:  browser responsiveness takes long enough to be irritating.

Expected Results:  idle window-rainding should be (almost) immediately responsive

Is this perhaps just Win2K's dodgy VM system ? 
I would say yes since the OS should handle bringing apps back to life after the
memory has been swapped off somewhere else, but all other apps under windows are
basically immediately responsive after sitting idle for a long time.
Is Moz's footprint to big to have state kept long enough ?

Altho this is reported on 0.9, I have seen the same behaviour on nightly builds
up until 20010505xx
