Greetings!

Actually a subject. The situation is the following. I don't turn off my work computer at night, I just lock it up and leave.
I have open FF with an above average number of vladok, InteliJ IDEA, Skype - all these programs are quite heavy, both in terms of memory consumption and the number of threads in them.

So when I come in the morning, the computer works sooo hard, it barely switches between tabs in FF, everything is barely restored from the tray. In general, everything is gloomy.

At the same time, I have a home laptop, it is weaker, but I constantly send it to hibernate. And I do not notice the brakes after switching on.

Both computers have Win 7. (difference in versions, but I do not think that this affects). Other working computers were also on Win7, and 32 and 64 bits, and constantly such garbage. Those. clearly associated with downtime.

Does anyone solve this problem somehow?

Perhaps on some FF page there is a Yandex metric or some other active object. For two days of downtime in such cases, about the same thing happens to me. Restarting the browser helps. Well, maybe your Skype is moving into a super-node.

Exactly the same picture.
Immediately after unlocking the computer, it begins to actively read the hard drive, so we can conclude that the system is getting data from the disk cache (which it considered not very necessary for the night of downtime). Disabling the cache reduces the recovery time of the computer by about half. But even with the cache disabled, the computer starts its working day with active disk rustling.

I disabled the paging file, because I saw in ResourceMonitor that it was actively writing / reading at speeds of about 1Mb / s.
Now I monitor how FF behaves, because. there are also many threads that communicate with the disk, more only for recording. Actively write to sessionstore and sqllite-journal (I have FF 3.6)

turn off your computer at night. The solution is very non-standard and complicated, but it can work.
To be honest, I'm a developer myself and I can't understand, FUCKING to leave the computer at night?
The two most important reasons why I turn off the computer: fire safety, ecology.

On an old Vaio, this is with 1 GB of RAM (very little for Win 7). Moreover, if you close and open the applications that loaded it overnight, it does not help at all. I'm only saving myself with a reboot. Fortunately, this laptop is not the main one.
