Firefox users no more memory eating!

I have tested at work (Celeron 2,4Ghz;512RAM):

refreshing this page:
without opt.:CPU jumps up to 92-94% memory used 49700K
with opt.:CPU jumps same as without and memory has a peak of 13000K than settles at 400-500K;optimizer CPU 0-5% memory 1000-2000K

other results on different rigs?

interesting, the optimizer actually eats more memory then ff lmao!
 
Wow

I can't believe I actually had to scroll down in Task Manager to find firefox. Well done!
 
hey, can we host the optimizer in the tpu downloads section? it would help make this great tool a lot more popular
 
it seems to flush it to page file or something. i've seen no slowness except that going back/forward pages may be a tad slower now.

CPU usage also doesnt concern me, as i game with FF open the memory usage was worse.

overall i still cant beleive how good this is :P feels like there should be a catch or trick to it, but it seems quite good.

It looks like it just pushes the junk firefox doesn't need into your pagefile. Seven tabs open and 1.5MB memory usage, but..
Firefox Ultimate Optimizer.exe is using 21.5MB pagefile
Firefox.exe is using 86.5MB pagefile.

I think there are better ways to fix the memory problems. (Google "Fastback disable")

Edit: 5 minutes of googling and I've found the feature. Go to about:config and look for browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers. Set it to 0 and restart. Firefox is now using 36MB of memory.

You mean this?

FastBack : REG_DWORD


Used to control the way the browser deals with the use of the "back" request.

If the value of LOWORD is set to 0, then fastback is disabled. Otherwise it contains the number of pages to keep in the back list for fastback.

HIWORD is the available memory threshold in kilobytes, below which saved states for fastback are freed. The default is 600K. Set to 0 to use default value.
 
wow nice im between 200K-3000K now was at 52,000K before

That's for Microsoft Internet Explorer Mobile. I'm guessing you got that from here.

No, I mean for Firefox's Fastback feature. There's lots of talk on it.

Anyone notice how the memory usage jumps right back up the second you close the Firefox helper?
 
i cant download the file!!!! it says its not found. im using download excelorator plus if that has anything to do with it. ugg i want this. i always use ff
 
WOW, this thing and FF3 will pwn IE7
 
a GOOD browser, such as IE or Opera, doesn't use as much memory as FF does.
 
81,600K before, 1,404K(ff) and 1,100K(optimizer) after!
AMAZING!

EDIT:
is it just me, or does ff seem more responsive and speedier when the optimizer is running?

From 76,404 to 320! A 99.6% reduction with a few tabs running! Amazing! :respect:

It does seem a bit quicker as well. I'm not sure if it was the optimizer that did this or if I just didn't do it on this machine, but my pipelining and initialpaintdelay, etc. (a few tweaks for firefox that work really well for broadband connections...ask me if you want a link) seemed to revert to default. I could be retarded and have never done those tweaks to this machine, but it might be the program too.
