You can shutdown firefox and from the ~/.mozilla directory run:
find . -name '*.sqlite' -exec sqlite3 '{}' 'VACUUM;' ;
This will compact the disk blocks of your sqlite database and from then on, firefox will start noticeably faster if your are a long time user.
I started a project to vaccumize sqlite databases (of various applications) periodically, as they are the culprit for slowness in most of the desktop applications - f-spot, banshee, firefox, evolution etc. I stopped working on it after I got moved out of the openSUSE teams. May be it is good to re-start the project. ( http://gitorious.org/vacuumizer )
A big hand to you :)
I couldn't resist to try that, and, wow! That was cool shit. My installation is about a year old 11.0 and that really made FF run nicely.
I am glad that it helped you. I still remember the surprise in the face of my friends after I do this trick on their machine. May be it is time I resume my project and make the sqlite compaction done in the background without users having to do it explicitly. -- Sankar http://psankar.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
