My hard drive runs continuously when 4.0.1 is running is there a fix for this?

My operating system is XP, after firefox has run for a bit over an hour the hard drive runs continuously and switching tabs take minutes. I usually have about 6 to 10 tabs.

Sorry, Google has stopped development of the Gears plug-in, and will not update it to support newer browsers like Firefox 4. They have announced plans to eventually migrate their sites from Gears to web standards like HTML5, but they haven't completed that work yet:

If you want offline access to your Gmail account, without using an older browser just for Gears support, you could try using an IMAP mail reader like Mozilla Thunderbird:
