231108 - browser eats memory and uses a lot of cpu time (heavy load)

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Eduard Witteveen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

The memory usage is quite high and the cpu load also. Mozilla becomes almost
unusable for me.
Im running on an PIIII system 1400 with 256 MB memory, but mozilla seems to slow
down everything.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) click on another application in the taskbar
2) click on mozilla in the taskbar
Actual Results:  
Refresh(build up the complete mozilla screen)takes far too long (in order of
seconds)

Expected Results:  
Refresh within milliseconds

I have quite some email in my mailbox, maybe this is killing mozilla?

Your computer clearly doesn't have enough RAM.
Running XP with all those applications is pretty masochistic.

There are other bugs filed about specific cases of memory bloat.
This one is too vague, so -> INVALID

How can i send you better (detailled) info? (She now uses 60 MB for only showing
this site!)

The processes are needed to keep my system running, there is nothing masochistic
about it, this is inherent to using windows IMHO. (or please tell me how i can
stop a few without having problems :D ).

ps: actually i have 512 MB RAM.
