[opensuse] firefox-bin %CPU
Hello all: Running only one instant of firefox results in using 45-70 % of CPU activity (according to top). Is this normal? Processor is AMD Sempron XP 2200. The site opened in firefox is: http://www.live365.com/stations/lschuck000 Thanks, IG __________________________________________________________________________________________________ ÖN SEM MARADHAT LE! 80 OKJ-s tanfolyam, már távoktatással is!

I have noticed this problem with several sites..... usually goes to 100% after several hours of running, but not right away. Now running FF 2.0.0.2 which seems to have fixed the problems. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

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.

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

On a hunch, I tried it on my 10.2 installation where FireFox 2.0 is the stock version (earlier I was reporting on FireFox 1.5.0.9 on 10.0), but the results were the same.

Those are not individual free-running scripts (for one thing JavaScript is not multi-threaded), just independently loaded source files. You could load them all and then not execute any JavaScript at all.

..that can't help!
It only affects initial page loading time.

This is certainly mostly correct, but one can get JS in browsers to do more than one thing at once using setTimeout or callbacks from the various XML HTTP objects (the callback functions will run concurrently with other scripts already running, I believe). I'm not sure whether the implementations of this are multi-threaded or not. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

More helpfully, it might be useful to install Firebug and see what the web-page is trying to do, and whether that is working. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Thank you all for the answers. I have upgraded to firefox 2.0.0.2 but the problem did not go away. I guess flashes are the cause of this problem since installing and enabling flashgot extension seems to stop firefox using such a lot of CPU.
