Iceweasel - Live USB - MX14.1.1 - High CPU Usage

[cuscotravelservices]

Hi All,

Iceweasel is using a lot of CPU with only a few (4 to 6) Tabs open. It has even crashed on me.

Memory usage appears normal - only around 200 MB.

Is this because I am using it in the Live USB environment?

I have observed the same thing in the Live USB environment for wattOS R8.

Do any of you recommend another Firefox based browser for antiX-MX14?

Thanks, Michael.

Does the machine still have only 256 MB like you mentioned here: http://forum.mepiscommunity.org/viewtop ... 72#p343672 ?

It would only have 224 MB of RAM to work with (256MB minus 32MB the integrated graphics uses) and it might be using the swap partition fairly heavily.

No, it's got the 512 MB of RAM but it's only using around 200 MB with that many tabs open.

well, you could install firefox or qupzilla, both available in the mx-package-installer.

How high?

@lucky9, you weren't asked to jump yet. *BitJam ducks*

Might not have been talking about jumping either.

How high?

100% and not moving much from that level neither.

What do you have open on the tabs?

With a Pentium 3 laptop running MX-14.2 installed, and four tabs open on Iceweasel each with static content, CPU is around 20%. Changing one of the open tabs to YouTube puts the CPU on 100% all the time even with no video running.

Figures for Firefox are virtually identical.

Figures for QupZilla are around 8% with four static pages open, and 15% with YouTube (No video).

It's a shame QupZilla has some stability issues.
