142095 - Mozilla too easily paged out to disk

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 76831

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement)

Description

[David Pilcher]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc2)
Gecko/20020502
BuildID:    202050206

This is a thing that's been 'bugging' me for _ages_.

Mozilla is paged to swapfile much more than IE.  For instance if I use a few
different apps (Outlook, Word etc..) then come back to Mozilla, sometimes it
takes 20 seconds for the browser to page back into RAM.

My PC has 256MB which normally has ~70MB free RAM, yet this still happens.  But
with IE I have no problem... it always is an instant to display the display when
clicking on the taskbar icon.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Just load mozilla, browse, use a few programs, come back to mozilla.

I guess the more programs/browser windows one has open the worse it  gets... but
if I have IE open at same time, it returns instantly.
