Firefox 2 versus Internet Explorer 7 versus WordPress
Published October 24th, 2006 in All Categories, Firefox, Internet Explorer 7, Performance
As a web page loads, it initiates a variety of code, programs, responses, hits on the database, 
graphics, and calculations. These can impact how much memory is consumed depending upon how many of these tasks are activated when viewing a web page. Code and programming such as PHP, Javascript, and Ajax, which currently make up a lot of web page programming, all use your computer’s memory when loading and working.
The WordPress Administration Panels on Wordpress.com and full versions of WordPress include a lot of Javascript and Ajax. Many WordPress Themes now include Ajax features, on widgets as well as design elements. Ajax is what makes things fade, move, and change on a page without reloading, such as the delete spam feature on Akimset’s comment spam panel and the various “boxes” on the WordPress Write panel.
This means that users of WordPress and web pages featuring Ajax can become memory victims of poor programming code. Firefox 2 versus Internet Explorer versus WordPress « Lorelle on WordPress
