Since stale tab content is my biggest complaint about 5.5sp1, I'll squeak again, too. For the forum record, here are my comments from March 16:
When I first encountered OmniWeb 5.5's speed in displaying a saved workspace, I was thrilled. The thrill is fading because of workspaces that behaved better with OW 5.1.3.
When the page content in a saved workspace has not changed, displaying a snapshot (OW 5.5) is refreshingly faster than reloading each page (OW 5.1.3).
However, when the pages a saved workspace are very volatile (e.g., news summary, user forum index, blog), there's always the nagging question, "Am I seeing the current content?" The only way to answer the question is to manually reload each page.
Since neither the snapshot or reload behavior is right for all workspaces, I suggest it would nice to give the user two options:
1. Global Preference for workspace restore: snapshot or reload
2. Per-workspace option to override the global preference
Since I was content with the slow-but-predictable workspace reload in OW 5.1.3, I'd choose that as my global preference and use the snapshot approach for workspaces with static content.
