I have noticed that ie tends to put the thread for a tab to sleep after long periods of inactivity. I have some questions related to this
1>After how much time does the thread for the tab sleep?
2>Will the thread sleep even if there are continuous ajax calls?
3>Does the time after which the thread sleep, have anything to do with user specific settings on the browser or computer?
A link to an article that deals with this would be greatly appreciated.
A hard question 😉 I did not find anything about tab thread suspension. But I hope this links will help you a bit:
