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.
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.
I have mentioned earlier some performance problems I've had since switching to Leap. I often have multiple browser windows open, particularly leading up to Trump's impeachment. I'd occasionally have to kill the browsers, mostly Firefox, but also Chromium and Seamonky, to reduce memory and swap use. Even then, I have to completely kill the desktop every few days or it will lock up solid, with the hard drive light on continuously. This is with 16 GB of memory and 20 GB of swap. I'm running KDE 4 on 15.1 and this just didn't happen prior to Leap.
There have been other issues, such as I have to occasionally restart krunner or my task bar disappears for several seconds. At the moment, the software update icon is on the task bar, but it's frozen. All these issues have happened only with Leap.
sounds like you are shooting yourself in the foot with "kde4". Why not finish your upgrade to kde/plasma5. sooner or later you will anyway. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
