Tabbing back into fullscreen games takes forever

Tabbing relies a lot on hard drives and not just memory as one would think. So if you have a slow spinning hard drive, tabbing would be a lot slower than if you had an SSD for example.

Games take up a lot of resources so you would expect them to take longer because they are resource intensive.

I would give Dude's suggest a go and see how you get on with that. It negates the need to alt-tab.
