I have tried doing what was requested. I went to the oldest .NET and repaired it but to no success. It says it finished everything properly but slimjet still has that random hang. Also, I am noticing flash games are freezing completely for a moment and then resuming some 30-40 seconds later.

I fired a brain cell and employed a temp

hardware acceleration

First try the setting in Slimjet Settings, toggle from whatever it is set now to turn it on or off as the case may be

if that has no effect, leave it just as it is and,

from you video card settings, whatever it is set to, do the opposite,

if that has no effect,

leave the video card settings alone and go back to Slimjet Settings and toggle hardware acceleration one more time from whatever it is back to what it was

if that has no affect put your video card acceleration back to what it was

I just realized. Before I toggle with the hardware acceleration, may I ask one thing?
Could this be due to memory issues? Now I know you asked this from the start, however, we were talking about my entire system's RAM. But does Slimjet set for itself its own allocated space that just fills up too easily?
I know we've manipulated and changed the cache profile to 1024MB, but I really don't know if that's regarding the actual program's RAM usage or if 1024MB is even enough for such a thing.
I ask this because yesterday I was in my inbox. I was on some other tabs when I came back to it to see "This webpage failed to load because Slimjet ran out of memory" or something like that. And, I see no way of using ALL of my 10GB ram when Slimjet and few other programs (Discord, Telegram, nothing that is heavy demanding in RAM at all) are up. There was/is no system notification of any kind of space (RAM, SSD) running out.

I don't think that has anything to do with RAM or Slimjet freezing. I believe the cache settings you describe deal with the amount of space allowed on the disk drive for the cached files to occupy in the cache folder. When it reaches the maximum you have specified Slimjet will begin deleting the oldest file on a FIFO basis. While 1024 MB might be a little high for best performance with a HDD it is probably just fine for your SSD.

Sometimes I think I'm back to being 3 years old, so easily distracted. I have re-read the posts in the topic and just noticed that we have not talked about Memory Management under Settings. If you have not done so yet go to the Settings Page and find Memory Management. You should see two selections available.

Mess with them similar to what I said for hardware acceleration. If the first one is checked then uncheck and conversely if it is unchecked then check it and see what affect that has.

And then do the same with the second one if you have no salutary result from the first one. Just do them one at a time so you know which one would be the problem.

At this point don't change the number of tabs selection or optimization period. Lets first determine if one of those is the culprit.

I was only able to test two things for now.
I checked off hardware acceleration, and flash games seem to have improved a bit. Gonna have to play some more to really determine it. (How would H.A. cause a browser or plug ins to screw up?)
Also, I checked off "Automatically Optimize Memory Usage" and "Automatically Unload Idle Tabs" (I believe the second one was already marked off). After restarting, I noticed Slimjet immediately improved; it was much faster. However, it still hangs but doesnt seem as long unless I got used to it at this point. Occurrences are about every . . . 10-25 minutes?
