which would end up with greatly improved performance for Firefox-core that no longer consumes 4-18% of the CPU at idle.
Two things: 1. The number of tabs seems to be a key factor, firstly the number overall, secondly the number 'active'. 2. That seems to apply to 'Chrome, both google-chrome and chromium, total number of tabs. Mind you, I find both of the above more awkward and less responsive than FF is when FF is started, even when FF is started with >40 tabs. An example of the latter: If I have FF running and I have google-chrome running then for each .... If I start a new local html page such as a TiddlyWikki file the FF starts almost immediately even though I have over a dozen addons. The chrome only has a couple - adblock being one, but the lag at startup, presumably something to do with JavaScript processing, is a couple of seconds. I see similar lag accessing many 'commercial' web sites. The ZD*NET and other "tech/news" sites have automatically generated HTML that is far from optimum and heavy in many layers of CSS and JavaScript. FF does a good job of both parallel fetching and what might be termed 'deferred execution'. Perhaps my inexperience with chrome means I don't have it so well configured. I'd accept advice on that front. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
