Yeah, I've had this for a week or so now, but I've not turned it on.

I use the Sleeping tabs feature and for me I see this as defeating the purpose of Sleeping tabs, which is to save/free up resources. I look at it like one is defeating the other. For me, why would I turn something on that uses and keeps resources and then turn something on that frees resources.
Ok so you want to be able to start your browser faster, but for me I do not see it taking so much time to start edge that it would need this. Edge starts quick enough for me on its own.
Like I said, for me, I see no need for it, but I'm sure lots of others will.
But this is just my 20cents worth.

That's actually a good point of view!
I think sleeping tabs and start up boost is 2 completely different features for 2 different types of people.
people that have enough system resources and modern hardware can turn on startup boost to make things even faster, while people with low to mid hardware can use sleeping tabs to save resources.
