Goodbye Google Accelerator |
You were fun for awhile, Google Accelerator, claiming to have saved me almost 4 hours, but at the same time I noticed you were a drag. You know, like the guy who shows up at the party that everybody sighs and moves away from? A noticeable drag on my CPU.
If you insist on consuming more memory and slowing down my system than this has to be factored into the saved time in browsing and I don’t think that is part of the current formula. Perhaps you could take a snapshot of the memory/CPU being consumed and evaluate that into the time saved column. Sorry, just can’t have system slowdown. Add/Remove -> “Remove.” Thank you for letting me beta test. Maybe I’ll have another look when/if this is more stable. I’ll miss your cool revving icon, though.
