LTT Forum High Memory Usage

EarthboundHero

So I noticed my memory usage was higher than normal, so I checked Chromes Task Manager and saw that the forum was using 1.5 GB. Is this normal for you guys? Also the GPU Process sometimes uses upwards of 1 GB. How can I combat this? Thanks guys.

Also sorry if this isn't where it should be. I wasn't sure where to post it.

Remove any plugins/addons you have on your browser and try again. That is abonormally high. It isnt anything to do with the forum.

I did not know Chrome had its own task manager.

Press Shift+Escape.

I had 1.5GB the other day. I don't really care, I have plenty of RAM. But when I posted a status update about it, apprently it was something to do with using the 64 bit version of the browser, try switching to 32 bit. 

 

There is also the possibility of the LTT forum notifier causing problems, I haven't looked at the source code, but try disabling it if you have it enabled

I am good at computer

I'm using 32-Bit. Weird that no one else really has this problem. It's not a huge deal, just found it weird.

I used to get annoyed by this. I always get at least 900MB of usage when I leave this open. On a 4GB machine, this means death close.

It's really just an issue with how complex the code that the forum uses is, and there isn't much that can be done about it. It's a known issue, and hopefully it will be fixed in the next forum version (next year), but for now there's nothing you can do.

 

is it expected to firefox to have it's own task manager? well, i would love to have one as i don't like chrome.

The closest you can get on Firefox is visiting about:memory (then click measure). However, when Firefox upgrades to a multi-process model (It's in the alpha channels right now, but it's not going to be coming to release for a while yet), it will make it much easier to measure per-tab memory usage.

This is where the Firefox add-on NoScript excels, you can turn off all the excess code and just let the code to view what you want therefor reducing the CPU/memory load on your system and saving the world due to less energy expenditure on BS code.

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.
