Does moving the mouse really fast around the screen help the page load faster? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 88/100. Feona1962 (2947)   ranked 115 out of 10,605 in internet1 year ago

When I am waiting for a page to load, I will move my mouse really super fast around the screen and then my page comes up..Is it because I moved the mouse around, or did it just happen to come up on its own, and I just think it was my super fast moves with the mouse? I am moving the mouse down to start this discussion. Was that fast or what?

Hello Feona1962,

I don't know about this and I tried to 'follow your advice' just now but nothing happened. The page still very slow to come up... and so I am not so sure about the answer*smiles*

I have been thinking whether each page will come up fast or slow depends on your internet connection. I am using ADSL right now. Sometimes, it is super fast and some times it is just as slow as using a dial up...

By the way, who is that on your avatar? So cute photo you have there...


myLot reputation of 88/100. Feona1962 (2947)   ranked 115 out of 10,605 in internet  1 year ago

That is funny. I am glad you tried it..I don't think it has anything to do with how fast we move the mouse..LOL..

The avatar is my 3 year old grandson..He fell asleep that way..thank you...

I smile everytime I see your avatar..very cute.


myLot reputation of 99/100. mtdewgurl74 (5513)   ranked 113 out of 10,605 in internet  1 year ago

I think both of your avatars are just adorable. You have some very cute kids/grandkids.Have a good day


myLot reputation of 88/100. Feona1962 (2947)   ranked 115 out of 10,605 in internet  1 year ago

Thank you mtdewgurl. Mine is my 3 yr. old grandson.


myLot reputation of 99/100. gr8life (2786)   ranked 55 out of 10,605 in internet  1 year ago

Hello mtdewgurl74,

Thank you. The 'child star' on my avatar is my dearest 11 months little boy*smiles*

Oh How Cool is that???? I think that you will find that it pops up by itself, no stimulation needed...

LOL! no.. but my kids think that it does! lol!
you only think it loads faster because it gives you something to do while it loads.


myLot reputation of 88/100. Feona1962 (2947)   ranked 115 out of 10,605 in internet  1 year ago

I do believe you are right..It just seems like it is making it go faster..lol


myLot reputation of 96/100. shriram84 (281)   ranked 1,907 out of 10,605 in internet  1 year ago

I think it never happens like that. But i have actually found to speed up the access in mozilla firefox. Please try this with firefox when u browse the net. Click on the status bar again and agin so that the progress bar will move faster. Try this it has worked for me already. it doesnt work for other browsers.

Sometimes it does appear that it does load faster when you move the mouse around real fast. It is a habit I picked up from my mom..I think it just seems that way because if we just stare at it loading(the little bar)it seems to take forever. Just like they say never watch a pot of water your trying to boil takes forever so the mouse takes our focus off of it and so it does seem it loads faster..for me anyhow..I have dial up which is turtle powered..lol


myLot reputation of 88/100. Feona1962 (2947)   ranked 115 out of 10,605 in internet  1 year ago

You've gotta love that turtle power...lol..It just seems like when I am moving it the page comes up quicker..but my eyes are deceiving me..lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. mtdewgurl74 (5513)   ranked 113 out of 10,605 in internet  1 year ago

Yep, love that turtle power because it is my link to the outside world since i don't get out much maybe a few times a month to go to the grocery store mostly.Go,go,go,turtle power..lol


myLot reputation of 88/100. Feona1962 (2947)   ranked 115 out of 10,605 in internet  1 year ago

My sister had the turtle power..I think it was the grandfather turtle though...lol..she was able to switch to DSL and it ia alot quicker now..They have I think maybe 5 families that live in their town...


myLot reputation of 99/100. mtdewgurl74 (5513)   ranked 113 out of 10,605 in internet  1 year ago

Lol, I think mine could possibly be great-grandfather power. I have a old computer my mom bought me about 7 years ago it was a windows 95 I had it upgraded to a windows 98 by a friend and it only has 133 mhz and not alot of memory and I can't do high speed on it. It only dials up to a 14.4 or lower and my modem is only a 14.400 bps slow. takes a few minutes to load each page takes all day to check my mail even though I don't get much. I got another computer that is faster but it doesn't have a modem so that will cost me and the installing it right now money is tight so I have to wait on it..maybe by christmas? I shold tell everone to just donate money towards helping me fix up my computer..lol Think it would work the other computer has over 500 mhz and lots more memory and will be somewhat faster because I will be putting in a 56k modem. Well wish me luck..


myLot reputation of 88/100. Feona1962 (2947)   ranked 115 out of 10,605 in internet  1 year ago

Well, you are lucky, moving the mouse super fast slows things down for me,lol! I think it's got something to do with the fact I'm not very patient in waiting for a page to load, and moving the mouse around really fast saying 'C'mon, c'mon, grrrr' makes it seem to take twice as long!!!


myLot reputation of 88/100. Feona1962 (2947)   ranked 115 out of 10,605 in internet  1 year ago

I just don't have the patience anymore I guess..I want things to be super duper fast. I don't have time to wait around..Doesn't my computer know this? I mean, we have been together for 3 years now, you would think my computer would know something about me by now!


myLot reputation of 91/100. muscare (1156)   ranked 2,620 out of 10,605 in internet  1 year ago

Yeah, computers are so inconsiderate at times. I would've thought mine would be sick of being cursed at by now! Oh, hang on, I'm such an angel, I don't swear...!!


myLot reputation of 88/100. Feona1962 (2947)   ranked 115 out of 10,605 in internet  1 year ago

You lying sac of sh*t balls...lol..Did that just come out of my mouth?...Where did that saying come from anyway?..Isn't it horrid. I hope I didn't offend you, I was trying to be funny..lol..


myLot reputation of 91/100. muscare (1156)   ranked 2,620 out of 10,605 in internet  1 year ago

Ok, I admit that my halo slips sometimes. Well, maybe make that a lot of times. Take offence to what you say?! Nah, none taken, cow...Lol, kidding also!!

don't think it has any effect, I'm afraid.
i find that i can't open too many mylot screens at one time, and perhaps it's because there are too many graphics, a screen can take forever to load.

this latest black and white pix of yours is cute! interesting to see you change avatars often.


myLot reputation of 88/100. Feona1962 (2947)   ranked 115 out of 10,605 in internet  1 year ago

I agree with you..Although sometimes I wonder..lol...I just love this picture of my grandson. Thank you.

I do the exact same thing. But I don't think it loads it any quicker, I think its just our impatience kicking in.


myLot reputation of 88/100. Feona1962 (2947)   ranked 115 out of 10,605 in internet  1 year ago

Yes, you are right. I am just so impatient..lol..It makes for a good story though...

You could be imagining it.LOL. Really if the internet is very slow I try to let the mouse hover to the top right side of the page where you have the button for minimize and enlarge and X and I think it also loads fast. I tipped my sister about this, let the mouse point to that area while waiting and it does come out faster than just waiting and not doing anything.


myLot reputation of 88/100. Feona1962 (2947)   ranked 115 out of 10,605 in internet  1 year ago

I will try this new technique..My connection is pretty fast as it is, but sometimes I think I have to much going on and it floods the computer..thank you.

*giggles* I don't think it works that way, but maybe it subjectively makes it seem to load faster? I can't see how moving the mouse around could actually make it faster, though when I tried it seemed to as well. I think it's just because we're distracted by the mouse and don't realize it took the same amount of time. Or maybe it's some kind of magic computer trick that no one has figured out yet, and you're the first.=P


myLot reputation of 88/100. Feona1962 (2947)   ranked 115 out of 10,605 in internet  1 year ago

LOL...It is probably a magic trick..lol..I don't think it works like that either..It just seems like it..

 
10. myLot reputation of 99/100. whyaskq (4277)   ranked 497 out of 10,605 in internet   1 year ago

I too move my mouse eagerly, no, I should say impatiently in the hope that the screen will load faster. At times, I even minimise the browser. Does this increase the speed of loading? lol. I would think it makes it faster psychologoically since you are not staring at it, waiting for it to finish loading.


myLot reputation of 88/100. Feona1962 (2947)   ranked 115 out of 10,605 in internet  1 year ago

I do believe you are right..
