Performance Mode is rolling out now in version 91.0.856.0, available. 'Sleeping Tabs' essentially freezes a tab that's left open in the background, saving resources when it's not actively being used. Microsoft claimed earlier in the year that sleeping tabs can reduce CPU and memory usage by 37 and 32 percent, respectively, so we don’t know if disabling them will help or cause more problems. One specific change Microsoft notes is that the 'Sleeping Tabs' feature in Edge will be locked to five minutes when performance mode is turned on. Remember there must be a blank space between existing text string and the appended string. Once you open Microsoft Edge properties box, append following string at the end of the text string present in Target field: -enable-featuresmsPerformanceModeToggle. The new mode disables the ‘sleeping tabs timer,’ a feature that Microsoft introduced earlier this year that allows RAM being used by background tabs to be freed to improve overall performance. Right-click on it and select Properties option.
