1,601g in mine (RES on "top"). And I see it growing while I do this, and do nothing in FF. 1,685g now.
I don't know what you've got open but I'd guess you have javascript enabled, and perhaps no ad-blocker.
javascript is of course enabled and
There's no of course at all. I always run with it disabled except for selected sites. Apart from the security aspect JS is one of the prime CPU and memory hogs.
I use AddBlock Plus (Easy List, adblock removal list, malware domains, fanboy's social block list, + Allow some non-intrusive advertising).
I was looking at some amazon pages, and some of my local computer shop. Very commercial sites.
194156 in swap. 4388012 virt.
So is Thunderbird.
Claws is a lot smaller
Maybe, but I'm used to it and its features.
I used to use both Thunderbird and Evolution. Eventually they both annoyed me enough to bin them. Claws is similar enough and does what I want, although I'd be the first to admit that it's a little idiosyncratic.
:-)
I also use Alpine.
How well does claws handle html? Both reading and writing.
I don't know. I never write 'HTML mail' I only write mail. I generally only read mail as well although it can display 'HTML mail' well enough on the odd occasion I do want to see it.
Then I also use LibreOffice, also large.
< 250 MB
239300 RES currently, with only one opened document. If I open my customary calc sheets, it goes to 410176 instantly, before doing anything on them.
So probably similar to mine. I don't find it unexpected that spreadsheets eat memory. Is gnumeric or other any better?
I don't remember, but it is not up to the task.
Claws corrupted the format of the "free" output below so that it is unreadable.
I think both it and TB wrapped the lines to meet the preferred standard. ISTR there's some way in Claws to tell it not to wrap and follow other weird formatting parts of the standards.
Claws:
cer@Telcontar:~> free -h --si total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 8,2G 7,7G 458M 185M 287M 3,4G -/+ buffers/cache: 4,0G 4,2G Swap: 43G 1,4G 42G
Reformated by hand:
My system is currently using < 4 GB
More or less like mine, considering that 4 Gigs are in cache and buffers and free.
cer@Telcontar:~> free -h --si total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 8,2G 7,7G 458M 185M 287M 3,4G>> -/+ buffers/cache: 4,0G 4,2G Swap: 43G 1,4G 42G
Thunderbird also broke this paragraph of yours:
# free -h --si total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 8.0G 4.6G 3.4G 84M 287M 3.3G -/+ buffers/cache: 1.0G 6.9G Swap: 29G 1.2M 29G
It should be:
# free -h --si total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 8.0G 4.6G 3.4G 84M 287M 3.3G -/+ buffers/cache: 1.0G 6.9G Swap: 29G 1.2M 29G
According to that, I have half a gig free, and you have 3.4. And I have 1.4 G in swap, and you nothing.
