This is the reason why I never paisted it in the first place, as it would have been incomplete, and therefore perhaps of no use to you, so if you can tell me how I can copy the whole, I will gladly post it. I can see them all, and scroll to them all by viewing it via the Process Table in KDE System Guard (ctrl+esc), but other than typing them out one by one, I don't know how to copy the info from there to here. Sorry, but I just don't know how to do it [edit] just edited to change my user name in the list to jagwah Edited November 26, 2006 by jagwah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 The top command will switch to the non-displayed processes and show them a bit later. Take a close look at top for some time and you will notice that there will be TWO pages switching after approximately five seconds back and forth.

jagwah Posted November 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Yes I see that it switches, and have been watching it for a while, but when it switches 99% seem to be the same as before the switch, only adding a couple of extras. I must go know, back this afternoon. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must go know, back this afternoon. Thanks arctic: by default here, it doesnt 'toggle' to the other undisplayed processes every few seconds, rather it just updates the top however many displayed listed by cpu usage. to get a better idea of what it's up to, you can do top -b > somelogfile James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Anyway, I think 200+M for firefox alone is too much... How did you install firefox? Is it a Mandriva rpm, or a mozilla binary package? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagwah Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 How did you install firefox? Is it a Mandriva rpm, or a mozilla binary package I downloaded it from the Mozilla/Firefox site, I use 4 extensions with it, Add Bookmark Here Inline Google Definitions Plain Text To Link Net Usage Item When I look at the entries in KDE SystemGuard ProcessTable, where I am able to scroll easily and see all the tasks, there isn't anything else that comes close to using what Firefox is using, other than the ones that say 0, the vast majority are only 4 digit, with a dozen or so in the 20000 to 40000 range, and X being next inline to Firefox.

pmpatrick Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 (edited) Firefox's ram usage is on the high side but not totally out of line. However, there is no way that firefox should have a 99% cpu usage. With 2 gigs of ram, I assume you are not running a PIII. Please post what cpu you are using. When any process takes up 99% cpu, your system will start to crawl. I don't know what accounts for this but the first thing I'd try is uninstalling your extensions one by one and see if the cpu usage drops.

jagwah Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 (edited) hmmm, to tell you the truth I didn't even look at the cpu usage, I just run top again. and it's giving Firefox as 99%, however, there is no real performace hit, I can play a game off Quake3 with no problems.

It has centrino 1.6 , 512MB ram and ATI Mobility Radeon 9700. I am experiencing big performance problems. This problems is more visible when using Firefox. For example; when you try to " scroll down " the page, this picture is very jerky. I installed Firefox from the original distro. I am also using Compiz. I have very big problems with fglrx driver too. I am waiting for an update for that. Dear experienced friends, can offer me some ways to improve the performance of my system? I am saying hello to all from Turkey. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagwah Posted November 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Well, I'm going reinstall, not that I think it will have any effect on the situation, as I have a fresh install of 2007 on my other machine, and it does exactly the same thing, but I want to try the latest Kubuntu just out of curiosity to see if it happens with another distro. Then I will reinstall Mandriva and move on. I can live with it, I know what things will cause it, so I can manage it. I've got reinstalling Mandriva and getting back to where I am down to a fine art ;) so it's no real strain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 For example; when you try to " scroll down " the page, this picture is very jerky.Go into Tools -> Options -> Advanced in Firefox and check/uncheck "Smooth Scrolling" and see if that has any effect. Note, if this is Firefox 1.5 you're using, the "Smooth Scrolling" option may be in a slightly different place (I'm using FF 2.0 myself).I am also using Compiz. I have very big problems with fglrx driver too. I am waiting for an update for that.On many systems compiz can cause slight to major performance degradation. I would suggest turning it off and seeing if it increases your performance any. I've got reinstalling Mandriva and getting back to where I am down to a fine art ;) so it's no real strain.But you shouldn't have to reinstall...this isn't Windows, almost all things can be fixed without re-installation...and those that can't, often won't be resolved by a reinstall anyways ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had great problems with the FF2 from Mozilla ... and because of the Debian/Firefox issue I had to wait until today to get FF2 aka Iceweasel from the debian repo's.... What a HUGE difference.... many if not all the problems I have been having are suddenly solved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
