Well OMG!!
Same 3 tabs
before=60412
Now=828
reduced percent =98.62%
 
scanned with avg, nice and clean. and AMAZING!!!!!

just took a quick video. used runescape(java) in firefox to cause it to eat some memory.

video link: hold up one sec
 
all for tpu members and not only!

i'm glad is working ;1st i don't believe the numbers but seems what mozilla team have to learn.:laugh:

Hi all,

Just found a small progr. which seems to work; has reduced my memory usage 500-1000%;when i'm writing this i have 6 open tabs and used memory 500-3000K.

Please post your results.

So let's say FF is using 100MB of RAM, with this program, that lowers the usage by 500-1000% it will use between 100*5=500MB and 100*10=1000MB less. So between -400 and -900MB of RAM usage. Interesting, it adds RAM :)


However, 98% reduction as zCexVe states is pretty impressive. Wondering if I should actually be impressed at the reduction or at the inefficiency of FF. Quite disturbing to know how much RAM it is wasting. What is the program actually doing? Removing caches or something? Does it slow down anything? (noticeably or not) Perhaps I should give it a try.
 
see my video. i forgot to build a pallete and so the thing didn't render right, re rendering as i type
 
Wow

+1

firefox is great now!
 
Holy crap!

My standard 40-60MB browsing has dropped down to 2MB with half a dozen tabs!

Most excellent! Good find!
 
i can't get it working..
 
the optimizer makers actually claims that this speeds up firefox because of the less usage. in that video it dropped my 126k and rising memory usage down to under 5k :twitch:
 
i have now 20 open tabs and FF is eating 1340K and the optimizer 1200K

i believe you need netframework 2.0 to make this work.

yes u do need netframework


768k being used now with 5 tabs open..the opt. is using 586k
 
Wow this is amazing. 150,000 k down to like 1,500 k.
 
Holy crap this is good. Mozilla need to see this!
 
Hmm... Interesting.

I've got this installed on this P3 600mhz box at work, and it really is pounding away on the CPU. 100% usage all the time. It's doing a good job at keeping the mem usage low, and it still allows me to work unhindered. Just seems a little odd that it uses any spare processing power to do whatever it's doing.

I wonder what you guys with the beefy procs are looking at usage-wise.

Very interesting, my cpu consumption is jumping everywhere 25-35% ish. This isn't really a slow processor either. Part of it is probably I'm running internet radio. But still very interesting that it uses that much cpu power....huh thanks for that heads up.

EDIT: you know what, I'd rather keep the cpu running cooler, like right now I'm seeing 1-5% utilization. FF won't go to crazy, and if it does I'll open the program then close it

EDIT again: Much lower cpu utilization once I reopened it....hmm, ok it was the internet radio that's making it go crazy, I think that anything that streams info makes the program go berserk trying to keep ram usage down. I think FF should take note of this, but not make it THAT aggressive.

I'm getting 1-11% CPU usage total. Optimizer is not even showing above 00, and firefox occasionally slips up to about 08 max so far, while it normally sits at about 01-04.
