No? Two gigabytes is not "too much" for you? :-D
why not use free ram?
Sorry, I don't understand. FF uses so much RAM that there is not enough RAM and the machine swaps.
how many content processes do you have configured? (Probably that was written somewhere in the thread before it changed subject and so I deleted it already)
I have not configured such a thing. Didn't know it was configurable.
I guess you know that Mozilla's RAM consumption heavily depends on the number of processes running.
No, I don't. :-o
Good, that we talked about it then ;-)
Many people nowadays have a lot of memory and the web browser is extremely essential for them. So for many it makes a lot of sense to run many processes. E.g. Chrome used to (likely still does) run one process per tab and is using typically much more memory when many tabs are open. Firefox behaves differently and distributes tabs onto a fixed max number of content processes.
I'm running 8 content processes and my RSS value adds up to roughly 6.5G but I don't care since my browser is essential to me and stability and performance as well and I have typically enough RAM.
I have 8 GiB of ram. How many processes do you reccomend, and where do I set it up? I think it is using 8, by looking at "top" output.
8 seems to be default, yes. It might be dynamic to size of installed RAM but not sure.
I see in settings a new "use recommended performance settings" entry. If I untick it, I see "use hardware accel when possible", and that the number of processes limit is set to 8. I'll change to four, as I have 4 cores.
Makes sense. Please observe how it behaves now memory-wise. You probably need to play a bit to find the sweet spot for your usage and system. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
