I don't disagree with the need to speed up the system. However, browsing with multiple tabs is a well known solution to the problem of having multiple browser instances open, and we have tossed that out for some reason.<br>

I think this is an example of behavior that should be configurable. Young<br>
children are impatient and try to launch activities multiple times when the<br>
XO exhibits slow response (see the feedback from various field workers,<br>
including the letter from my daughter the kindergarten teacher last April.)<br>
So perhaps there should be a setting that chooses behaviors suitable for a<br>
young child as distinct from older children and adults. Are there frequent<br>
occasions where multiple instances of the same activity are needed? or is<br>
this an "advanced" behavior?<br>

the right fix for this is to speed up the starting, not to force someone to 'unlock' their system to view two web pages.<br>

I think we should not run the activity if it's already running. But<br>
there are cases such as when I'm running Browse, in which I have<br>
multiple sessions open. Or sessions of paint. It's complicated and<br>
probably should be left up to the user. Someone might want to run two<br>
of anything.<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>

To me, that seems silly. Is it normal for Sugar activities to be able to<br>
be launched multiple times like this?<br>
