Hello all:
Running only one instant of firefox results in using 45-70 % of CPU activity (according to top). Is this normal?
Possibly. Pages with Flash animation or (other) embedded media players can cause the browser to show a lot of CPU utiltization. JavaScript can do the same. As can plug-ins and extensions.
Processor is AMD Sempron XP 2200. The site opened in firefox is: http://www.live365.com/stations/lschuck000
Are you playing any audio? Though realistically plain old audio should not drive high CPU utilization on that system. On my 3.0 GHz Pentium 4, simply displaying that page does not cause even one percent CPU utilization for firefox-bin (and I have a few other windows and many tabs open at the same time).
So while it's not possible to answer the question definitively with the information you've given, it's likely something is amiss.
I'd start by looking at the Firefox extensions for a culprit.
I checked the site as well using 10.1 with FF 2.0 on a P-IV 1.8G machine with 1GB RAM. In about:blank my firefox uses 1.1% At my filesite.org, firefox uses 3.1% At that site, firefox uses 65%. I'm assuming there's supposed to be sound or something? Of course, there's a bazillion scripts running... <script language="JavaScript" src="/scripts/genre.js"></script> <script language="JavaScript" src="/scripts/navbar.js"></script> <script language="JavaScript" src="/scripts/rating.js"></script> <script language="JavaScript" src="/scripts/preset.js"></script> <script language="JavaScript" src="/scripts/ads.js"></script> <script language="JavaScript" src="/scripts/listen.js"></script> <script language="JavaScript" src="/scripts/pca.js"></script> <script language="JavaScript" src="/scripts/playicon.js"></script> <script language="JavaScript" src="/scripts/country.js"></script> <script language="JavaScript" src="/scripts/mini.js"></script> ..that can't help! -- kai Free Compean and Ramos http://www.grassfire.org/142/petition.asp http://www.perfectreign.com/?q=node/46 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
