I suppose it's relative. I compile it on a dual-core while doing other stuff & everything goes fine, it just seems to take a rather long time (comparable to [libre|open]office). I'll give it that chromium (8 tabs open) seems to use far less CPU than opera (6 tabs open) & less than 1/4 the memory of opera, as well. -- -- _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
