[opensuse] My Opensuse 12.1 are slow
Why are my Win XP so much quicker then my 12.1. The CPU goes to 100% when I starts some thing. I have the same problem with KDE and Icewm. In Win XP,there are no delay, I start a program and it start. In Opensuse, it take nearly 1 min. with no response, everything seems to have died. Any clues??

I have no idea as to the cause/fix, but I have the same experience. My home computer, which ran 11.0 very well, has become a pig with 12. 1 & KDE 4. I have to reboot every week or so to restore performance, but even then, it's nowhere near what I had with 11.0. This is on a 64 bit AMD Athlon 64 4000+ & 3 GB of memory. I don't have Windows on this computer, so I can't compare with it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I had this experience a couple of weeks ago on my laptop and it turned out to be the version of the Nvidia driver installed. Once I rolled back to an earlier version all was back to normal.

The 64-bit version of openSUSE 12.1 + GNOME ran beautifully on my 2 GHz Intel Core2Duo 5800 system w/ 4GB memory. I restored the 11.4 + GNOME 2 installation for day to day work due to the changes in GNOME, not performance. And I have not seen many instances of this specific complaint here on the list. Have either of you studied the logs for warnings, errors or other anomalies? Have you 'Googled' "openSUSE 12.1" plus the make and model numbers of your computers or motherboards? Just to see if anyone has already discussed your specific problem on the 'net? It's impossible to start asking the right questions, much less make any recommendations, without some base level of understanding of your hardware and without any clues from the logs. regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

If you provide that information here on the list, others might have hands-on experience to share or better luck with Google ... possibly by searching on the chipset, instead.

That brings up a question I have been meaning to ask for some time. I have the system load view widget in my system tray, which if I click on will bring up the system activity gui and gives good information on what processes are running and how much memory, cpu they use, etc. However, sometimes when my system slows down, I can only access information if I ctrl-alt-f1 to a terminal and use the command line. Is there a good command line command that will give cpu usage information and the process id for whatever is using the cpu? I use ps ax to look at my processes, but I haven't been able to figure out how to show much cpu each process may be using on the command line. Same thing for memory. I use free for showing the amount of free memory, but what command gives the process id and memory that it is using at the same time? Knowing how to do these from the command line would I think help anyone to troubleshoot slowness problems. -- G.O.

One thing I've noticed is that "plugin-container" seems to be a major user of CPU. Even when I return to the computer that I haven't used for several minutes, it's still way up there and System Monitor shows CPU History pegged at the top.

I keep the following open virtually 24/7 in one single core 32 bit 11.4/KDE3 session: FF 2.0.0.20 from mozilla.org on desktop 6 FF 3.6.28 from openSUSE Mozilla Legacy repo on desktop 5 FF 12.x from mozilla.org on desktop 4 SM 2.9.1 from openSUSE Mozilla repo on desktop 4 SM 2.10.x from mozilla.org on desktop 1 My browser windows rarely have fewer than 12 open tabs. Upwards of 20 is more typical. 2.10.x currently has about 35, and doesn't often dip below that number. Most Flash content seems designed for use on 640x480 displays. On high DPI displays, making Flash objects big enough to see anything typically produces serious ugliness. Thus I limit exposure to Flash in various ways. In 2.9.1 I normally don't open any pages that I know or expect contain Flash. I use this in SM 2.9.1's userContent.css: "embed[type="application/x-shockwave-flash"] {display: none !important; visibility: hidden !important;}". Thus what few Flash containing pages do get opened in 2.9.1 mostly won't display any Flash content. 2.0.0.20, 12.x & 2.10.x, un-bzip'd to /usr/local, haven't been instructed where to find the Flash plugin. So, normally only 3.6.28 has plugin-containe consuming cycles and RAM. Minimized to taskbar with a non-Flash tab focused the Flash overhead seems reduced to a fairly nominal 1%-2% CPU & .7% of RAM even though several up to 8 or 10 tabs might contain some Flash at any given time. I've never installed or used "Flashblock", have 4G RAM, keep swap turned off, and rarely see objectionable slowness. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

You really think browser developers and web site developers could live with having to open only one at a time? O_O Comparisons and bisect management would be a huge problem, a solution for which was provided at least a decade ago. :-D http://lmgtfy.com/?q=run+multiple+gecko+versions+simultaneously -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

that is Flash running.. its a pig!
Yes, usually, but it can be something else if I'm not mistaken. Sometimes I simply kill it, after I have seen that flash window and know I don't need to see it more. Or, I could ban that image.
If on a computer flash pegs the cpu too much, I would by default ban all flashes. There is a plugin I can't remember the name that does this: all ban are flashed, and you have to click on the center of the window where the flash would be to start it.
It's called Flashblock, and can be installed through the addon's tool.
I just had a look at it and it won't work if you have NoScript installed.

I have no idea what “Spoonerisms” is. However, my phrase is a typo, I meant “all flashes are banned”, obviously. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
