I find it works well for my use. My main problem is that my tablet is 
using a WiFi kernel module, and tries to load/unload it each time WiFi 
is started/stopped. When the tablet comes out of standby, WiFi will 
often fail due to lack of memory, so I have to kill tasks before I 
enable Wi-Fi. I don't really need to use multi-tab browsing on a tablet 
so I can't commented on your exact question, but I've noticed the 
browser used is really important. The stock browser gives poor 
performance, and I find the best out there is Opera Mini.
