Please don't make it render models automatically when you open them.

I don't think anybody is suggesting rendering automatically.

Rather, I think the idea being discussed is to somehow cache the result
of the rendering for a tab that is now hidden, so that it could be
redisplayed instantly when you switch back to that tab.

(And yes, multiple tabs are good for copying stuff from one file to
another, but multiple windows are better.)
