Dick,
Have you watched top for a while? You might consider reading the
'nice' man
page and setting firefox (or whatever seems to be bogging down you
system)
to a higher-priority nice value.
Yes, I have been watching top. I have Firefox open right now, but not
looking at anything. I am seeing things I don't expect, like rm and
rsync. When I visit a webpage, Isolated Web Co shows up, and I know
that's a Firefox thing, but I don't know what it's actually doing. It
goes away when I close the YouTube page.
Most of the time, the sluggishness appears as a "long" time between when
I click into a window and can actually see something happening. Example,
I started Firefox and went to YouTube, but didn't select anything to
look at. Then I clicked back into this email. It was 10 or more seconds
before I could edit again.
I'm going to try the same drill with Chromium and then later Brave, and
see if I get similar results.
